£200 fine for using Olympic VIP lanes

[swamp]

Probably best to avoid London during the 2012 Olympics.

excellent, they're going to use roads that are already gridlocked during the working week

London will grind to a halt

Shame Ken isn't in charge, he'd have increased the CC

As a northerner who rarely visits our nation's capital can I be the first to say

I feel you pain, I really do.

I was afraid od something like this happening.

Rather than use the opportunity to invest in the infrastructure of London, we are going to have some half arsed temporary measures that will inconvinence everybody else and then bring no long term benefit.

I'll either be working from home or take the time off while the Olympics are on; I'm not going anywhere near London while it's on, it's going to be bedlam.

[sleep envy]

the worry is that some arsewipe at TfL will want the routes to remain in place but just changed to bus lanes after the games

[madala]

....I am really not looking forward to the friggen Olympics.....a waste of friggen time amd money.

[grumbledoak]

Straight out of Moscow in the 1980s. They'll be bussing people in to fill the stadiums, too. It's all got to look right.

Personally, I hope to be well out of London for the entire time, and I won't watch a single second of it on the television.

You will when someone clones your plate in two years' time

A stupid sport stunt, I hope it rains on every game performance.

Me too <wet Tshirts>

[DonkeyApple]

What will they travel in?
Charter coaches for athletes, media and sponsors, BMW limousines for VIPS.


That's an odd one. Why BMWs and not Jags, Fords, Nissans or Vauxhalls?

Suspect I will be moving out of London for this little show anyway. Can't imagine anything worse than trying to commute or move around while this is going on.

[Fartgalen]

It's going to be a bloody nightmare for those of that travel regularly in/out of the country too. Better get some flights booked up, or as suggested, don't work while the OG are on.

+1 ......

[TuxRacer]

I hope they're paying a st load more than I am in road and council tax for their own lanes.

bds. I bet they even fix the bloody potholes.
