Games travel plans an 'uphill task'
 
Concerns about transport plans for the 2012 Olympics:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/uklatest/s...690078,00.html

In particular:

"The discrepancy between London Mayor Ken Livingstone's prediction that
25,000 passengers an hour will use the fast "Javelin" King's Cross to
Stratford trains and train companies' figure of 12,000 to 14,000 needed
to be resolved quickly. There could be dangerous platform overcrowding
at Stratford international station and the actual Javelin train journey
of seven minutes might be longer."

and:

"Tube operators must guarantee that improved signalling on the Jubilee
and Northern lines will be fully operational in time for the Olympics."
