@DartCharge The #A282 southbound #QEIIBridge at #DartfordCrossing has now reopened after completion of barrier repairs and resurfacing works following the earlier incident.
The East Tunnel has also now reopened as normal.
Unfortunately 95% of our evening buses are all stuck around the Lakeside Basin. Traffic is not moving.
Our question to the authorities will be why is this area *unusually bad* congestion wise? What has changed? (something has).

Thanks for your patience today and also a huge thank you to our staff who have battled recent extreme heat and today, the worst road conditions in a long time 👏

Following the extraordinary FOI revelation of #HMRC’s settlement deal of 15% with large companies & @gregsmith_uk’s question, we’ve written to the Chancellor @RachelReevesMP. Those she agrees are victims of mis-selling MUST be given equal terms as multi-million pound companies.
