London 2012 Olympic General:

Olympic Games• Opening Ceremony on 27th July 2012 and run until the Closing Ceremony on 12th August 2012. • Main Locations are:

– Olympic Park (Stratford) 9 Venues. – The River Zone – ExCeL, North Greenwich Arena, Greenwich Park, Royal Artillery Barracks.– Central London – The Mall, Hyde Park, Horse Guards Parade.– Other London Events - Earls Court, Lords Cricket Ground, Wembley, Hampton Court Palace.

• Outside London, sporting events will take place at Eton Dorney, the Lee Valley White Water Centre, Hadleigh Farm (Essex), and Weymouth and Portland. In addition, Cardiff, Coventry, Glasgow, Manchester and Newcastle will each be co-Host Cities for the Olympic Football competition.

Paralympic Games• Opening Ceremony on 29th August 2012 and run until the Closing Ceremony on 09th September 2012.

• They will be attended by approximately three million spectators. The transport challenges will be considerable, particularly as the school term starts during that period, which will create additional pressures on the transport system. The PRN will be in operation and will affect road users.

Between the Games – the ‘transition’ period• Between the end of the Olympic Games and the start of the Paralympic Games, public transport will still be affected as thousands of athletes, officials and

spectators will be leaving and arriving in London. The ORN and PRN will remain in operation in certain areas during this period, so roads will continue to be busier than normal.
