Clueless Clippers fail to woo stranded commuters

If anyone stands to capitalise from London Underground's recent high-profile failings it is London's riverboat service Thames Clippers, which connects major commuter hubs such as London Bridge and Waterloo with Canary Wharf and The City. 

However, rather than wooing commuters away from the Tube's congested platforms and carriages with its spacious boats' onboard coffee shops and Wi-Fi, would-be Thames Clippers converts have instead become increasingly angered by what ought to be be the simplest aspect of any journey: buying a ticket.

During the course of the London Underground strikes last autumn and the major Jubilee Line failure during rush hour on Britain's big 'back to work' day this week, Thames Clippers' woefully inadequate ticketing arrangements have once again been exposed. 

The first bout of industrial action in September resulted in disgruntled passengers queuing for over an hour in lines a kilometre or more in length whilst poorly-equipped staff attempted to sell tickets by hand, all the while as boats left piers often less than half-full. 

Tuesday's Jubilee Line misery may have left the spine of London's underground network paralysed but rather than seizing the opportunity to entice disillusioned passengers back to the boat, commuters were trapped on bobbing piers and forced to queue for up to 20 minutes whilst Thames Clippers staff once again failed to cope with the sudden influx of passengers.

Londoners generally accept that they have to pay a small premium to travel by boat and have widely welcomed recent improvements to include Oyster card payments and Travelcard discounts on the Thames services. But if Thames Clippers are to elevate themselves beyond being anything more than a commuter's 'last resort' mode of transport when other links have failed then surely serious work needs to be undertaken to revamp their desperately inefficient and inadequate ticketing infrastructure.

Have you had a poor experience queuing for a Clipper? Or are you satisfied with their sailings? Drop me a line, let me know.
