The transport network starts from a position of being*less* busy
because the Games coincide with Summer holidays when demand always
falls.

Visitor numbers to London, before, during and after the Olympics, re
expected to be much lower than in normal summer.

It seems they are, but what's different about the Olympics is that the
travel in concentrated to a few places at a few times. It's got all the
potential of being like Cup Final Day in five places at once, seven days
a week.

And other parts of the network (and streets) will be quieter than
normal.
