.I live in East London and Cycle past the site every day on my way to work.
I had fond intentions of taking the kids to see stuff.
The ticket booking leaflet is here next to me and I just look and think - the Olympics aren't interested in local people coming at all.
I do think that the area is going to be a complete nightmare as there is only 1 DLR station (Pudding Mill Lane) that makes easy access. And they dropped an enormous clanger by building Stratford International station and then deciding that the Eurostar isn't going to stop there.
Once everything's done and dusted next Autumn, three of London's poorest Boroughs will be left with the maintenance of this enormous site. Will they be getting any extra to keep it maintained before it's sold for £1.50 and becomes another Dome? I don't think so.
I wouldn't be surprised, despite the many proclamations at present if it becomes another Athens ghost town.
