Following the opening of the Silvertown Tunnel in London, Chris Yarsley from Logistics UK highlights its benefits for network resilience and journey predictability. However, he criticizes the high tolls for essential delivery vehicles, which lack alternative routes. Yarsley notes that the new tunnel will alleviate congestion at the Blackwall Tunnel, but the disparity in toll charges between larger and smaller vehicles is concerning. He advocates for a flat toll rate for fleet operators and discounts for zero-emission vehicles to align with the London Congestion Charge scheme.
