Just opened my copy of the Western Gazette (our local weekly here in
Somerset) and found an advertisement from TfL warning about hotspot
stations
during the Olympics. How widespread is such advertising?


On the M27 Motorway yesterday the information signs were displaying a
message advising people to plan their journeys to the Olympics.
My Forays on said Motorway have fortunately declined from 3 times
daily to about once every 3 months so I don't know how long this has
been happening.


They're on the M11 as well. Been about 3 weeks, before that it said "think
bike" or "don't drive tired" if there was nothing of real interest to
display.

I want to know how "planning my journey" makes me "arrive on time".

Just because I (reasonably) plan for it to take 2 hours isn't going to make
that happen if "Olympic" congestion causes it to be 4 (boy am I glad that I
shan't be making that journey in August).
