- Transition Period 13 to 28 August 2012

The London 2012 Olympic Games will have a huge impact on the transport network, affecting businesses across London and beyond. During the summer millions of additional visitors are expected to visit London and the rest of the UK.
It is imperative that businesses plan ahead for the Olympic period. In London there will be limited available hotel accommodation available for transient travellers, and the transport system will be exceptionally busy.
We recently held our second Olympic Planning Client Event, where we were joined by IHG, Jurys and East Coast Trains each of whom shared with us their thoughts and strategy for this unprecedented event. A copy of their presentations can be found below:
