Millennium Bridge, London people walking caused small sideways oscillations in the bridge, which in turn caused people on the bridge to sway in step, increasing the amplitude of the bridge oscillations and continually reinforcing the effect. On the day of opening, the bridge was crossed by 90,000 people, with up to 2,000 on the bridge at any one time. Resonant vibrational modes due to vertical loads (such as trains, traffic, pedestrians) and wind loads are well understood in bridge design. In the case of the Millennium Bridge, because the lateral motion caused the pedestrians loading the bridge to directly participate with the bridge,
London Bridge Area Signalling Centre Charing Cross and London Bridge (Central) traffic. Prior to the London Bridge ASC, Cannon Street and Charing Cross traffic arrived at London Bridge on all lines and was either signalled approaching or leaving London Bridge station to their respective destinations. With the development of London Bridge ASC, all this traffic was sorted out further outside London Bridge, mainly at Parks Bridge but occasionally in the New Cross area.
