If you like this you'll LURVE One Stop Short of Barking, THE fun and informative BOOK about travelling on the London Underground.
The Olympic torch will be attached to a Tube train and travel on an overground section of the system. Tube bosses are keeping the line used a secret as they are worried it will be swarmed by “torch tourists” and cause overcrowding on that line.
However, the Jubilee Line has been ruled out even though it is the main route to Games venues. LBC report that the torch will also have a ride on an open top bus driven by transport commissioner Peter Hendy. Apparently Boris really wanted to drive the bus, but he doesn't have a bus driving licence.
Londonist has full details of where to watch the Torch Relay. If you manage to see the Torch on the Tube, send us a picture. I'll be sticking to watching Billy run through the streets of Walford.
"The magic, mystery & sometimes maddening shortcomings of London's Tube are documented with love, enthusiasm & sometimes despair by its unofficial social historian." The Guardian
