Inquiry into the transport plans for the 2012 Olympic Games: IEE comments to the House of Commons Transport Committee.
Abstract
The IEE supports the transport plan as put forward by the Olympic bid committee, and the effort should be focused on achieving this plan rather than proposing new ideas. The success of transport to and from the Games will depend on investment in capacity and modernisation of the existing local systems. However, it will not be enough just to invest in schemes around London. In addition to servicing the Olympic venues that are outside of London, improvements will be needed to relieve some existing bottlenecks. Consideration also needs to be given to how the large number of foreign visitors will actually use the transport network.
