§ Lord Moynihanasked Her Majesty's Government:
What are the constitutent parts of the first class transport system required for the London bid for the 2012 Olympic Games to be successful, in the event that the East London Line, Crossrail and the Jubilee Line extension are not in place by 2012. [HL3121]
§ Lord Davies of OldhamThe transport plans for London's 2012 Olympic Games are still being developed and will include a number of specific schemes to improve capacity during the Games. By 2012 10 railway lines will serve the site of the proposed Olympic Park in Stratford making it one of the accessible areas of London.
The 2012 Olympic bid does not and never has assumed Crossrail. A robust transport solution for the Olympics can be delivered without Crossrail. The Jubilee Line extension was completed in 1999. Planned improvements are under way and contracted to be delivered by 2007.
