He further added, “If there was a Mumbai-type bomb attack, what would happen? Stations will close, roads will be cordoned off, lorries won’t be able to make deliveries. We need to work out a plan where there is flexibility for staff.”

The International Olympic Committee in the year 2004 stated the transport system of London as ‘obsolete’. Mr. Hendy stated, “We’re already working with businesses to manage demand. We’re confident we will get all athletes, officials and spectators to their events on time and keep London moving.”
