More than £400,000 was spent on plans for the replacement ferry for Hammersmith Bridge that was never used

It’s unclear what the budget was for the ferry, but a Freedom of Information request in December 2020 showed TfL put aside £2m for it.

The need for it for was lost in July last year when the bridge partly reopened.

Planning applications were submitted for temporary piers on both sides of the river, which had gone out for consultation.
