Olympic bid transport proposals

In message , Dave Arquati writes Every day 500,000 people will visit the Games. The bidding team for London says more than £17billion is being spent on upgrading transport links before 2012. It says this will allow about 320,000 people an hour to go in and out of Stratford. At 1,000 people per tube train (approx 300 seated, 700 standing) that's the equivalent to an impressive 320 tube trains per hour, or 5 per minute. There will be faster and more frequent services with 10 trains an hour between King's Cross and Stratford. Chickenfeed, even if they manage 1,000 people a train. (3% of the total above). I thought this was rather odd too. Maybe they mean 32,000, and are including ALL modes (buses, CTRL domestics, tube, overground rail, DLR extension to Int'l, cycling & walking!) -- Dave Arquati Imperial College, SW7 |
