London 2012 Olympic Site

This bit is open but often closed on Sunday for works & in 2011 we will see the East London Line extended into Highbury & Islington, also the DLR should be running into the International Station along with Westfield being open.

I saw a foto of S stock at a station so I guess the first ones are being delivered now.

it may beclosing for months but the improvements it will bring will be worht waitintg

but it will create massive inconvenience and cost passengers money - especially since passengers pay less to travel around London on this line rather than through central London.

This will be something like the third major closure in the past couple of decades... similar to the east London line.

I wonder if the western side of the Circle Line will be closed for 18 months to lengthen the platforms and make the stations with short platforms suitable for the longer S Stock trains which wil soon be entering service? Or will the inconvenience to the travelling public be deemed to be 'too severe'?
