No mobile phones, MP3 players or radios then...

So they are planning single-sex gondolas then? Maybe they want to stop people trying to join the 300ft high club?

If you hum they'll give you a stern look!
No singing? I think "No Bisking" would have been a better choice.

yes - I think they must be planning single sex gondolas. Why would that be?
No mention of Burkha or Hijab-wearing requirements...

“the cable car system†means the cable car system across the river Thames between the Greenwich peninsula and the Royal Victoria Dock, including but not limited to—
(a) the stations, passenger embarkation and disembarkation areas, associated public spaces and pedestrian and vehicular access ways;
(b) the towers, cables and gondolas and all other associated plant, equipment, apparatus and facilities;
(c) any other associated building;
Presumably including toilets.

Reading between the lines, I'm foreseeing private-hire corporate events with casinos (high stakes, but no smoking) aboard the Arab-fly Dangle-way

I hope they offer mixed as well as single sex gondolas. It will be daft otherwise.

Do you think if we all asked loudly enough they would introduce 6 for all modes of transport run by TfL?

@gaunching,
They already do. These rules are basically an extract from TfL standard bye-laws and apply to buses, tube etc. Obviously "train", "tram" etc. is replaced by "cable car".
See Max's comment above.

most modern (and even older) point and shoot cameras have a "movie mode" which capture sound. so you can't use your camera than to take cool photos! Sorry folks. Fun is banned, here.

"tout for or solicit money, reward, custom or employment of any kind"
That's Emirates and Boris banned then.

You can sing ... but you can't sing "to the annoyance of any person on the cable car system except with written permission from the operator or an authorised person."

#17 - no wheelchairs?

Pity that driving a car on the gondola (no.17) is prohibited.
But eating and drinking (even alcohol) seem to be ok, though, so not entirely sharia compliant.

what about graffiti? is that covered by no 4?

I'd kind of like, one day, to line up a series of passengers with ever-increasingly exotic animals to test rule 19.
"So a wombat does need a ticket, but not an opossum? Interesting. Now, let's say I bring on a Marbled Polecat, but - wait for it! - it's under 9 months of age. What then? Your move, Mr. Operator."
I just have an image of a queue of patiently-waiting animal owners with a series of strange creatures, and a ticket inspector lifting off his hat, scratching his head, staring down the line and mumbling, " . . . we haven't even gotten to the reptiles yet . . ."

'use any motor vehicle .. on any part of the cable car system' ???? WTF are they thinking of? I'm also puzzled about rule 19 since it sounds uncharitable to dogs for the blind.

No singing? Not even the Ishy Bilady?

I'm going to use Dangle Airways this year.
Even with all these rules, it'll still be worth it.

I'm tempted to bring a pack of cards with me just so they can tell themselves rule 8 wasn't a complete waste of time.

@Surreyguy - the rule seems to say that if an animal requires a ticket, it must have one. Guide Dogs (for whatever reason they are guide dogs, whether for the blind or whomever) I doubt would require a ticket, therefore would be allowed on without.
The singing one is interesting (I have a similar rule in my car as it happens) - you can sing if you don't annoy, but if you want to annoy you need permission.

The fact that these things are called gondolas is discombobulating me somewhat. Makes me imagine flat bottomed Venetian boats dangling their way across the sky, powered along by stripey shirted mediterranean gentlemen.

No real surprises there...Just extends the existing TfL/Railway Byelaws to the Dangleway.
My favourite's still 8(h): [A person must not] molest or wilfully interfere with the comfort or convenience of any other person.

How Audrey can read #17 as meaning 'no wheelchairs' is beyond imagination?!

I think the motor vehicles rule is about motorbikes: you *might* be able to transport bicycles, but not a moped or a scooter. And definitely not a Harley.
I wonder how the Underground and the 'surface' trains are going to rule on the increasingly-common battery-assisted bicycles: strictly speaking, they are motor vehicles, too.
