Default Olympic bid transport proposals

Every day 500,000 people will visit the Games. The bidding team for
London says more than £17billion is being spent on upgrading transport
links before 2012. It says this will allow about 320,000 people an
hour to go in and out of Stratford.


At 1,000 people per tube train (approx 300 seated, 700 standing) that's
the equivalent to an impressive 320 tube trains per hour, or 5 per
minute.

There will be faster and more frequent services with 10 trains an
hour between King's Cross and Stratford.


Chickenfeed, even if they manage 1,000 people a train. (3% of the total
above).
