Hey for a blog post written by a traffic engineer that wasn't too bad!

Time to dig out "McAlpine's Dream" by Principle Edward's Magic Theatre - very appropriate to the event I think.

And they have moved 160 kittens out of the area as well ...

Kittens; what a missed opportunity for a blog.
The "Earth Moving" link should be http://www.london2012.com/blog/2...adium-
build.php

anybody care to hazard a guess as to how long it will take before even the committee who are championing the hideous logo finally wake up and realise there IS still time to redesign it - it's hardly like it's an established brand after all

It's obviously a case of them wanting to move Heaven and Earth to accommodate the Olympics in 2012.

Well I've been lucky enough to be able to see the goings on from the official viewing platform, at the top of one of the nearby tower blocks. There are more diggers in one spot than I've ever seen - I'm surprised one of them hasn't fallen into the eurostar cutting yet, which runs like a diagonal slash across the entire site...

The colossal waste...impressive but simultaneously depressing.

Hi DG, are you tempted to book a place on any of the tours of the site, being run by LBTH?
Free to residents, once a month for the foreseeable future I think, according to the article I came across... (no, I don't work for 'em).

Agreed there is a lot of work to be sorted out

I'm not yet tempted by the LBTH coach tour of the site, but maybe in a year or two when there are more changes to see.

Whilst Sitting in my study during these cold winter evening's over the past week or so I have noticed that when I look out of the window and gaze across what will be in 2012 "The Olympic Athletes Warm Up Tracks", the usual pitch blackness has been lit up like a football pitch throughout the night with huge great floodlights and armies of great machines with what seem to be half a dozen flashing amber lights attached to each one, they all trundle back and forth right throughout the night working away, When I first saw them at about 10pm one night I thought that they must just be working a bit late, but no, Ive seen them at 1.30am 3am and even 4am, thankfully its like watching a movie with the sound turned down, and it does make my trips to the loo a bit more interesting.

you'd have thought they'd have kept the weeping willows...

Ooh, along with some other residents I've been invited to go and chat to Lyn Brown MP on Saturday lunchtime - she's the MP for West Ham (including central Stratford where I live) to hear our views on the work so far... might be interesting, but she finishes with a "why not come and join us for some tea and biscuits" - methinks she's aiming for the geriatric crowd on Saturday lol

The promise of tea and biscuits is enough to get me to do almost anything, and I'm a student.

The only thing that needs to actually be flat is the track and field area... Surely they could have used the contours to make a more interesting and interactive area to visit during the games...and after of course.
I can see why they do it...BUT... as fishislandskin says, they are working through the night and you, DG, say they are working 7 days a week, that just becomes NON-STOP. There's only such a thing as a seven day week when you check your diary or calendar... otherwise it just becomes non-stop...aaaaarrrggghhh
