There are also many tunnels used by Tube trains as part of the London Underground network or (at Greenwich), the Docklands Light Railway (DLR), and a free ferry for vehicles, cycles and people on foot during daylight hours at Woolwich. Another tunnel is due to be built for the proposed DLR extension to Woolwich. A further tunnel is under construction as part of a high speed international railway line between Ebbsfleet in Kent and Stratford in Newham. It is due to be completed in 2007 and will be downstream of all older crossings. See Thames tunnels for a complete list.
