Monday 30th.... Took some Clients down to Central London today. Hotel in High Holborn.
After all the hype about the possible traffic delays I decided to plan well. Devised two alternative routes in-case of trouble.. printed out maps... pre-loaded my GPS with the alternative routes... studied http://www.getaheadofthegames.com/ for all the road closures and restriction etc...probably spent 90mins on it.. best to be prepared !! Took some drinks for my "guests" so they wouldn't de-hydrate when we were stuck in a long queue.
In the event I took only 2hrs 10mins from Bromsgrove to the Hotel... very little traffic.... and... on the return journey sailed past loads of traffic along the "Olympic" traffic lanes virtually unimpeded. The electronic signs were saying "Traffic can use all lanes" but very few people were taking advantage !!!
Tomorrow.... got to pick them back up from the 02 Arena, Dome or whatever it is called these days... fingers crossed the traffic is the same as today !!
