Beijing grapples with Games legacy four years on


And the relevance to UK railways is?

I think the missing connection was the fact, capable of being expressed
in
around 10 lines, that the rather short short spur of Beijing Metro from
Beitucheng
north to three stations covering the main Olympic site, has been
solidly renamed
Line 8 and extends another 6 stops in the northerly direction,
intersectiing with line 13.
Its southern extension is planned to be partly open this year, with
further extensions
north and south happening up to 2015. They do seem to be going slowly
on the parts
due to be open later this year: the sites of some of the new stations
due to be opened
still seem to be just holes in the ground surrounded by various
building machinery.
