    "description": "The London Cable Car (Emirates Air-Line) is a cableway system that opened in 2012 to support people travelling across the River Thames. There are two terminals: North Terminal which is situated at the Royal Docks in Newham and the South Terminal which is situated at Greenwich Peninsular in Greenwich.\nThe Cable Car has 34 cabins (gondolas) that rotate around a continuous cable system. The journey is 1.1km long and reaches a height of 90m. There are six towers that elevate the Cable Car above the ground and across the river and TfL fully owns the business.\nThe Cable Car is a very popular tourist attraction with over 1.3m customers each year and has helped develop the areas both sides of the river. The Cable Car has developed its business from being an alternative transport mode into a leisure-based attraction which has included delivering new experiences and events.\nThe potential contract resulting from this opportunity will seek to replace the current arrangement for Operating and Maintaining the Cable Car. Further information can be found in the Market Sounding Questionnaire (MSQ) which seeks to understand the supply market view on the following service elements related to the Cable Car:\nA.\tOperating the Cable Car\nManage the day-to-day operation of the Cable Car.
