During the London 2012 Games, about 80 per cent of spectators will get to the Olympic Park through the three 'gateway' stations - Stratford Regional, Stratford International and West Ham.
As Planning Manager for Stations, my job is to make sure that West Ham - just one mile from the southern entry point to the Olympic Park - can accommodate the huge volume of London 2012 spectators.
Of all the spectators travelling by rail, about 20 per cent will use West Ham to get to the Olympic Park. How does this translate in numbers? Well, around 400 spectators every two minutes will arrive at West Ham during the busiest times of the Games, with most using the District Line.
