    The London cable car, also known as the Dangleway and officially as the IFS Cloud Cable Car for sponsorship reasons, is a cable car link across the River Thames in London, England. The line was built by Doppelmayr and the total cost was around £60 million. The service opened on 28 June 2012 and is operated by Transport for London (TfL). Since 20 October 2022, it has been sponsored by the technology firm IFS; prior to this, from its opening the line was sponsored by the airline Emirates, and known as the Emirates Air Line until 28 June 2022.
    IFS Cloud Royal Docks:
    The eastern end of the cable car line is at the Royal Docks, home to the ExCeL exhibition Centre and the new London City Hall. The closest interchange to the Docklands Light Railway is at Royal Victoria station, with an out-of-station interchange distance of approximately 200 meters (660 ft).
    IFS Cloud Greenwich Peninsula:
    The station, then branded Emirates Greenwich Peninsula, at night
    The western end of the cable car line is within walking distance of The O2. The closest interchange with the London Underground is at North Greenwich. The nearest London River Services is at North Greenwich Pier and local London Buses services at North Greenwich bus station.
    The service comprises a 0.62-mile (1.00 km) gondola line that crosses the Thames from the Greenwich Peninsula to the Royal Victoria Dock, to the west of ExCeL London. In addition to transport across the river, the service advertises "a unique view of London". Since 28 June 2024, FirstGroup has taken over the operations of the cable car line.
    The cable car is based on monocable detachable gondola (MDG) technology, a system which uses a single cable for both propulsion and support, used also on the Metrocable in Medellín, Colombia. The MDG system was reportedly cheaper and quicker to install than a more complex three-cable system which would have allowed larger-capacity cars.
    There are 36 passenger gondolas, of which 34 are in use at any one time, with a maximum capacity of 10 passengers each. All passenger gondolas are ready for disabled persons using wheelchairs, including those ones with leg rest extensions. There are also two (open) engineers' gondolas for use by maintenance staff.
    The line has been operated by its builders, Mace, since it opened in 2012. However on 28 June 2024, First Group will take over the operation, with an initial five-year contract and the option to extend it for a further three years.
    In 2020 running hours were 07:00-22:00 from Monday to Thursday, 07:00-23:00 Friday, 08:00-23:00 Saturday, 09:00-22:00 Sunday from 1 April to 30 September, finishing an hour earlier from Sunday to Thursday the rest of the year. The duration of a single crossing is ten minutes (reduced to five minutes in rush hour as the service speed is increased).[39] With a capacity of 4,080 passengers an hour, 62,000 per day and up to 500,000 people a week in summer
