I guess you've been saving "London Blunderground" up for this - you must
be gutted that all you've got is a couple of minor incidents that really
had zero impact on people getting to the games?

Indeed, London's public transport system seems to be coping very well,
hitting new records for passengers with few problems. The DLR, in
particular, is being stress-tested like never before.

I dare say there will be more breakdowns on the Central and Jubilee
lines before the Games are over, just as there are anyway, but the
sheer choice over routes means that few people will be stranded. Has
any previous Olympics or other large sporting event been held in a
place with so many railway lines (and even a cable car for variety)?
