From BBC Sport:

"Prime Minister David Cameron, who is chairing the daily Olympic security meeting, tells the BBC: "I've just come on the Tube myself to see what the traffic situation was like. It was not too bad - the Bakerloo line is going all right.

"(There are) lots of challenges and we have to overcome them one by one.""

Colleagues have been telling me how the service was very quiet last night and alot of the later trains were empty. But today is the first day of commuters and visitors together so it should be interesting. I think if anything goes wrong it will be equipment failure. All you need is a signal failure in the peak and you could have chaos.

They just over manged the transport which is working good but in late hours very few peoples travel.
