General advice about travelling during the Games:

• To make journeys easier, try to avoid changing trains as far as possible.
• The Jubilee line and London Bridge Underground and national rail station will be very busy. Where possible try to avoid if you can.
• Avoid changing onto the Central line, particularly within central London (Bond Street, Oxford Circus, Tottenham Court Road, Holborn, Bank, Mile End and Liverpool Street stations).
• Avoid changing at Canning Town, Canada Water, Bank, Oxford Circus and Tottenham Court Road stations as they will be very busy.
• From West Ham station, walk along The Greenway to the Olympic Park. Avoid changing to or from the Jubilee line or DLR here.
• Plan and book early. There will be the opportunity for ticket holders to organize their journeys before the Games.
