[London 2012] Verkehr während der Olympischen Spiele 2012 – Tag 4, erster Kontakt mit dem Londoner Pendelverkehr

Und auch am ersten Arbeitstag in der Periode der Olympischen Spiele (am Eröffnungsfreitag war der Pendelverkehr schon vorbei) gab es keine größere Schwieirigkeiten. Mit dem britschen Premierminister David Cameron gab es sogar einen prominienten Nutzer des Londoner ÖPNVs.

Well that was one of the best commutes I’ve ever had. There’s hardly anyone on the Victoria line! #tfl #OlympicsClare Vooght
Sad to say the public transport was a shambles after yesterdays visit to Wembley Stadium. If a bus is diverted TELL US so we dont wait! #tflAG Kaz
I haven’t seen London Bridge and Bank tube platforms that quiet at 9am on a Monday in years! #Olympic2012 #tfl @BBCTravelAlertSW9er
