So I didn't make it over to the concert from the USA. So what did Live8 do
to London's transport system. Any observations are welcome. I'm curious.

As usual for really big crowd events all the stations next to Hyde Park
were closed after the concert, but I thought it coped quite well.

Well, they made everyone go the long way round at London Bridge. I
almost missed my train because of it.

Friend who drives a motor-bike said it took 2 hours to get home (to St
John's Wood), as all the roads round Hyde Park were closed, but I'm not
sure whether she was at the concert or doing something else.

LU management had failed to make emergency plans in case of
over-running etc, therefore at about 8pm last night, the controllers
were asking drivers if they'd be willing to work a few hours extra.

The last trains operated between 30 mins and one hour later than their
booked times to cope with the crowds.

Thanks for all the replies. I find it most interesting and am still sorry I
wasn't able to attend.
