Apparently the entrance will be at the station but people face a walk
of up to a mile to get to some of the venues...

More like a walk of 150 miles to get to the furthest venue.

Actually, I doubt that the public would have to walk as far as a mile to
get to any of the venues within the park, as the more distant areas from
the entrance are not for the public (e.g. the athletes' warm-up area and
the huge media centre are both on the far perimeter). The Olympic Park
is actually quite small (c.500 acres) - not much bigger than Regent's
Park, in fact.
