10. The London 2012 Games and their legacy – an update • Effective freight planning and operations - following a comprehensive engagement programme, advice and support from the Traffic Commissioners and the development of tools such as the Freight Journey Planner, freight operators and businesses adapted during the Games, keeping London stocked and serviced and demonstrating innovative practices such as quieter out-ofhours deliveries. • More walking and cycling across London – efforts to encourage people to walk and cycle during the Games were successful. Pedestrian counts across London showed walking was up by seven per cent during the Olympic Games and by 18 per cent during the Paralympic Games, while cyclists crossing the Thames were up 20 per during the Olympic Games and Barclays Cycle Hire saw record use. • A more accessible transport system – efforts were made to make the transport network as accessible as possible, including major alterations at Green Park and Southfields stations. New lifts were installed, accessible shuttle services were provided, manual boarding ramps were used and new audio/visual displays were provided. This was in addition to an already fully accessible DLR, bus network and taxis. TfL has subsequently integrated many of these successful practices and insights gained into future planning and daily operational delivery, ensuring a lasting legacy from these aspects of the Games experience. Physical transport legacy update - 2014 The 2012 Games legacy continues to influence developments within London’s transport network. The unparalleled levels of face-to-face customer service seen during the event will become the norm under Tube modernisation plans. The following specific initiatives, put in place during 2014, continue to extend both the physical and operational legacy aspects of the Games: • New station. The new Pudding Mill Lane station, the largest on the DLR network, opened in April 2014 with double-tracked rails that allow an extra 1,100 customers to be carried every hour. • More buses. A new bus service was introduced to Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in November 2014, providing better transport connections for the area. Stops include the London Aquatics Centre and ArcelorMittal Orbit. • More ramps. Continuing the legacy of accessible travel promised after the 2012 Games, the UK’s first ‘bridge style’ boarding ramps were unveiled in May 2014 and introduced at three stations the following month. The ramps are used at stations where there is a step down between platform and train. • Many major accessibility improvements are currently under way, along with dozens of smaller step-free projects, with a target of at least 25 more Tube and London Overground stations, plus dozens of National Rail and Crossrail stations, step-free within the next 10 years. • Cycling in the park. It was announced in November 2014 that the cycle hire scheme will expand into Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park with eight new docking stations and 320 docking points. • Helping hands. Our Travel Ambassadors continue to help keep London moving when major events, including the Notting Hill Carnival and strike action, put the transport network under pressure. Since the 2012 Games Travel Ambassadors have been deployed at many major events including RideLondon 2014. 188 Travel in London, Report 8

Note that previous estimates for certain quantities have been re-based using the 2011 Census population actual totals which, as described in section 2.5 of this report, differed from the previous Census mid-year estimates. Table 10.1 compares a selection of pre-Games socio-demographic indicators, based on the 2011 Census of population, with the latest available data. In 2011 the six Growth Boroughs contained 575,400 households and were home to 1,507,100 people.
