The most important thing, something that everybody seems to have overlooked, is that WestHam get a lovely new shiny stadium to use.

really pi$$ed off about this. it was announced yesterday that the torch will not be run over the tamar bridge but put in a van and driven across instead because it might hold up the traffic for a few minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
there is a walkway/cycle lane across the bridge. they can use that with no disruption to traffic flow.
only in england.
i bet it will be run over other bridges up country with no problem. organisers my ar$e.

even if they had gone over by boat to the plymouth side would have been a better compromise than a clapped out transit!!!
terrible decision. |

I was mildly surprised last week to find that there are huge parts of the route where the torch will be driven to the next bit, some of the sectors seem to have been chosen simply because they had a volunteer to run through their own village and they've had to drive a van ten miles to get the torch to them for their ten minutes of glory.
I was naive enough to think that it would be run all around the country on the chosen route. |

Decision overturned, they have clubbed together and borrowed a bit off Posh's bloke and managed to stump up for the toll
As for your point McF, I looked at the detailed timings for this first leg on Saturday and the non running parts are pretty thin timewise to say the least, something like 15 minutes from Falmouth to Truro which out of season is cutting it fine, but when the grockels are already down here with the ankle biters licking every window in sight I suspect it may take a bit longer. |

And some bits they chose and then went on to choose people from different areas to carry it. It goes through here (the only part of Lanarkshire it's going through) being carried by people from Falkirk, Stirling and West Lothian. |

Transport for London have erected posters all over Newcastle warning of congestion over the Olympic period. If the queues are going to reach that far up the a1 god knows what it will be like in the smoke. Guess we'll all have to "re mode"

Not quite "always".
Only since the Nazis invented the tradition for the 1936 Berlin Olympics. |
