Transport for London’s press office have yet to reply to my email asking why this arrangement was deemed appropriate.
However in the last 24 hours the terms and conditions page has been quietly removed from the site’s menu and the page itself emptied of content.
The site’s operators – seemingly Emirates – have also corrected an embarrassing gaffe spotted by Twitter in which they misdirected would-be passengers to the wrong Tube stations for each of the terminals.
Let’s hope the quality control on the cable car itself is a little better than that shown so far by its partial sponsors on their website.
Update 22nd June 2012: TfL have provided the following quote in the name of Danny Price, TfL’s head of the Thames Cable Car:
“The option for the sponsor to have a website with details of the Emirates Air Line is part of the sponsorship agreement with Transport for London.
“Our sponsor is a Dubai-based company and therefore some of its websites are registered in Dubai. The terms and conditions of the Emirates Air Line website, wherever required, will be subject to English law.”
