The Mayor last Wednesday:
I don't propose to do anything to intervene here with Thames Clippers or to pour public subsidy into keeping the service going after nine o'clock...we are already subsidising passengers on the river quite considerably. We're subsidising more for instance than we are passengers on the buses. There is a limit to the amount of taxpayers money that you can pour into the River Thames.
As Adam Bienkov reports that looks like the end for a nice idea that was, alas, never likely to float the mayoral boat.
