[edit] Dartford peer review

The Dartford article has recently had an overhaul, and as follow-up has been nominated for peer review. Since editors to this article are likely to know something about Dartford as well, any edits you can make to the Dartford article or comments on the the peer review itself would be very useful. Thanks in advance! Jdcooper 23:19, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

I have had a play around with it. There is lots that I can add - when I have time!

"The Channel Tunnel Rail Link passes under the bridge,(between the bridge supports) on the Essex side. It passes over the exit ramps of both tunnels. The actual trains are obscured by large screens." Pretty sure these screens are there so that the drivers are not distracted by the speeding trains coming over the bridge as they exit the tunnels. Anyone can confirm this?

Need to research about how radio stations work down in the tunnel. Something about leaky feader if i remember correctly. (should anyone want to listen to radio down there... --Screen42 00:15, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Regarding the screens, those are throughout the CTRL, and they are to stop tresspassing, and vandals. JoshBosh 01:31, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Maybe, but they are in a position that no one would be traspassing at that height! Still think it is to prevent distraction--Screen42 13:35, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

The official name according to [1] seems to be "The Dartford - Thurrock River Crossing" perhaps the name for this article should reflect that. There is already a redirect in place to the page from Dartford Tunnel so one could be added for Dartford Crossing Allan Edwards 02:04, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] East London River Crossing

"East London River Crossing" is diverted here. This is wrong: the "East London River Crossing" is a new proposal that has yet to be built. Can someone correct? 86.17.246.75 01:58, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tunnel colour scheme?

I seem to remember that the tunnel colour scheme was explained to me as having a meaning - something like brown for Essex mud, then Thames blue, then green for the fields of Kent. Can anyone confirm/elaborate on this? Matt's talk 14:41, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Crossing - bridge or tunnel or both

I just came here looking for information about the tunnel, and was redirected to this page. So this article is virtually exclusively about the bridge (and the infobox implies there is only a bridge) - where's the article about the tunnel?! Sorry, I'm being slightly cheeky - this article is far too focussed on the bridge. Halsteadk (talk) 09:09, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
