These improvements will be the catalyst for economic and social regeneration that will go far beyond 2012 and far beyond sport.

Many of the improvements will be completed before 2012, so London can enjoy the benefit before the Games, as well as afterwards.

The transport enhancements will remain in place to allow easy access to the new sporting facilities after the Games, and for people who will live and work around the Olympic Park.

In addition to the new railway and new cycle lanes, walking routes will connect the Park into the wider London networks.

We want the Games to increase the awareness of cycling and walking as a healthy means of travel, which is something that all of London can benefit from for generations to come.

The benefits will be more than just improvements to infrastructure. We want to boost the numbers of people using public transport when traveling to and around London.

The improvements focus on accessibility for everyone. We want to set an excellent standard of accessibility for disabled people, older people and families with children, which will set a benchmark and act as an inspiration to others.
