So the eastern end of the central line has been shut down twice now

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?
Zero impact? TfL were advising passengers to avoid both the Jubilee and
Central Lines and instead to go by District Line to West Ham . . . and to
walk from there to the Olympic Park! Do you know how far that is? Do you
know how many elderly people were obliged to make that expedition?
Westfield Shopping Centre was closed to non Olympic people. A new,
major shopping precinct closed! Zero impact!
