Transport for the Olympics

Good public transport links already exist in London but more effort is being exerted to ensure the spectators get to the venues in time and in comfort. London's public transport infrastructure will be expanded by the extension of the London Underground's East London line. There will also be a number of upgrades to the Docklands Light Railway (DLR).

There are also plans to create a high speed shuttle train service. This will be called "the Olympic Javelin" and will take passengers from St Pancras International -where the EuroStar is based - to the Olympic Park. A number of park and ride sites will also be made available around the M25 (motorway circling Greater London) with low emission vehicles being used as transport.

  • "By 2012 there will be a total of ten public transport lines feeding into Stratford, representing the capability of a train arriving in the area every 15 seconds."
