TfL Ref: 0598-2122 Thank you for your clarified request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 10 August 2021 asking for information about the Barking Riverside Riverboat extension. Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy. We do not hold the information you have requested as the operation of the new riverboat service is a private commercial arrangement between the land owner / developer and the river boat operator. Further information on the Barking Riverside development is available in the following link: https://barkingriverside.london/the-place/whats-near-transport-connections/.
