After all the questions, all the grumbles, London Transport - thank you. Waiting for the train I suddenly realised I had checked, double checked and triple-checked all the tickets, but had forgotten to pick up LOCOG's e-mail. How to get from Euston to Straford? I could vagely remember there were two changes on the underground but after King's Cross things were somewhat blurred. A lovely gentleman on the train, clearly also headed for Stratford, gave me his take, one change at Oxford Circus. Not being the biggest fan of the underground, I hate downwards escalators, I stopped to ask one of the Olympic folk on the station. Fifteen or so minutes later and a walk to Paddington (the coloured feet and the info. at intervals along the pavement was really great) and the Javelin, the comfortable, fast and regular train direct to Stratford International. The train was packed. Officials, some athletes and lots and lots of excited families all heading to the Olympics. From the warmth of the Olympic folk on the station at Euston through to Stratford - London Transport - well done!
