Well done you!


Not so you for not even being able to use it.

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


No, the central line is the main tube line from central london.

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.


Ooooo, they THOUGHT ABOUT THIS IN ADVANCE did they? So what magic have
they weaved that means 3 closed lines would make no difference to
the throughput of passengers to stratford? Do tell because if they could use
the same magic during a normal rush hour it would solve all their problems!
Central line, jubilee line, district line goes down - no problem! Just ask
Meistro Petrov and he'll tell you how to get the same number of people around
london with 3 lines out of action.

Tell me, do you really believe the bull**** you write or do you work for TfLs
marketing dept?

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)


I don't really give a toss whether its been a success or not. Its still cost
10 billion quid for a 2 weeks sports meet either way. Oh yeah, thats worth
every penny isn't it. I mean if Paris had won there's no chance of there being
the same wall to wall coverage on TV with the same number of gold medals won
by Team GB is there ... oh wait....
