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!

The restricted access to Westfield for Friday and Saturday was planned
and announced in advance of any problems on the Central Line.
