So the eastern end of the central line has been shut down twice now
during the Olympics for the usual pathetic excuses. Can Blunderground
go for the hat-trick and win Olympic gold in the synchronised team

I guess you've been saving "London Blunderground" up for this - you must


No, I've used it here before. Google.


Well done you!


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? Yeah , right. If you think closing the main tube line to
the olympics has zero impact then why not shut it completely and save
some money?
Moron.


Not the "main tube line", merely one of MANY lines. Jubilee, National
Rail from Liverpool St, North London Line, Lea Valley Line, Javelin, and
a couple of DLR lines, with back up support from District, H&C and C2C.
They could have closed 3 lines and it probably wouldn't have caused any
great problem because THEY THOUGHT ABOUT THIS IN ADVANCE. A couple of
hours between 7 and 9 on Friday morning without the Central Line will
have prevented nobody from getting to the games on time.

Like I say, you must be GUTTED that the whole thing has been such a
massive success. And it's refreshing that you're still here acting the
prick when most cynics ahead of time are admitting they were completely
wide of the mark. (I'm sure you still believe you're right too, but of
course you're the one that's right, and everybody else is wrong)
