2012 London Olympics Drivers to be Paid Extra

During the upcoming 2012 London Olympics, Train drivers of the Underground rail network of London will charge an extra 500 pounds, as the city working hard to commute maximum sports lovers to the venues.

Organisers are hugely dependent on the underground, which is already overcrowded. To transport spectators to the Olympic venues, which are positioned in the heart of city, lots of preparations need to be done.


Transporting people to Tube is quite important, as lots of athletes, officials and journalists need to reach the venue on time. Politicians have stated London as the public transport games.

London Underground also stated that drivers who are working between both the Olympics and Paralympics will be given one-off payment.

Mike Brown, the Managing Director of LU stated, “LU is committed to ensuring that the train service we provide contributes to the successful operation of the Games and I am pleased that we and the unions have been able to engage in constructive dialogue to reach this agreement.”
