Good news for hard pressed Londoners!
To date most of the transport news about the Olympics has been entirely negative - what with the exciting introduction in 2012 of Zil Lanes across swathes of the capital for the exclusive use of bloated Olympic officials and their entourages, whilst oridinary Londoners face the threat of summery execution should they even think of straying into them.
Happily the tide has turned and those long promised transport improvements are finally starting to arrive!
This thrilling email announcement from the Olympic Delivery Authority:
Robert the Engine gets first makeover as part of London 2012 transport investment
A steam locomotive called Robert is receiving a London 2012 paint job after 78 years of pigeons, rain and wind left him feeling under the weather. Robert the Engine, built in 1933, is being given a makeover before resuming his place outside the main transport hub for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games by the end of the year.
Errr... run that by us again?
The ODA has painted a knackered kettle and this is billed as "transport investment".
Yes London, the rest of the world really is laughing at you.
