The stg£45 (€57) million system only opened last month.

The Emirates Air Line links venues on both sides of the River in east London.

There are some reports claiming the system may have stopped working due to the hot weather.

The cars were brought down more than half an hour later whereas a normal trip is finished in a matter of minutes.
