London 2012: TfL details Games rail and Tube hotspots *Posters warning
people about busy roads and trains during the Games have been put up.
Olympics organisers have published details of the Tube and rail
"hotspots" that those who live, work and travel in London should avoid
during the Games.
The information provides a "final picture" on which stations will be
most affected from 27 July, they said.
Bank, Earl's Court and London Bridge stations will be "exceptionally
busy".
The TfL website is useless since it isn't specific enough.

Hotspots missing - and they're hotspots anyway - are
* the Picadilly Line to/from Heathrow and Central London
* HConn / HEX between Heathrow and Paddington
* FGW locals between Reading and Paddington
* grossly over-congested platform 12 at Paddington
These are over-crowded anyway - and will be even worse during the
Olympics.
That site still needs fixing. For example, on the Tube map diagram
apparently there are no days on which it is predicted to be busy at
Wimbledon, Richmond or Balham. Yet switch to the 'National Rail' tab
and you'll find those same stations are flagged as "Busier than
usual", complete with the days and times there will be expected
congestion.
