Free Olympic Travel In London?

I can't help but laugh at Lord Coe's plans for free Olympic travel in London.

The farce today just trying to travel from Oxford Circus to Liverpool Street when they had a few roads closed for a Formula 1 race showed how the existing transport infrastructure in London can't cope. In the end my journey took an extra hour, so God knows how long it would take if there were Olympic events taking place across the city.

However, Seb is promising the best planned and operated transport system in the history of the Olympics.

Just quite how everyone will cram into overpacked buses, tubes and trains waits to be seen.

However, there may be light at the end of the tunnel. Todays Evening Standard has a story about TfL's future London transport plans. It features lots of new tram, tube and rail lines.
