London’s public transport system is no longer the "sick man" but the jewel in the crown" of the capital’s 2012 Olympic dream, bid chiefs said last night.
Transport experts told the International Olympic Committee scrutinizing Britain’s chances that London’s railways and roads would soon be the envy of the world.
Once improvements were in place, athletes would spend time "competing not commuting", bid leader Lord Coe told the IOC panel on the first day of their visit.
The need for an overhaul came after the IOC criticised London’s " obsolete" public transport systems in a report last May.
Yesterday the London 2012 bid made a series of promises including;
£ 10 billion of investments including a £ 1 billion East London line extension, longer Jubilee line trains and Northern line upgrades.
A train serving the main Olympic Park at Stratford, East London, every 15 seconds, on ten different rail lines.
Twelve-carriage, 225kph (140mph) javelin trains using the Channel Tunnel Rail Link and taking passengers between Straford and King’s Cross in six-and-a-half minutes.
Tube trains running until 2:30 a. m. every day of the Olympics.
Connecting services which will allow visitors to reach the Olympic Park from 309 stations.
The 13-member IOC panel will today have its first taste of the Underground, with a Jubilee line trip to the Millennium Dome. They will also travel on the Channel Tunnel Rail Link, watching a video outlining the transport improvements to be delivered every year up to 2012.
But they will spend most of their time on coaches as they travel to such key sites as Wembley and Wimbledon.
Transport Minister Tony McNulty admitted there were concerns about how London would cope with 500, 000 extra visitors a day. But Transport for London said the Olympic fortnight in August would lead to only a five percent increase in passengers—when 20 percent of London’s commuters were on holiday. Questions: [br] The word " scrutinizing" in Line 1, Paragraph 2 means______.
