Coming into Stratford Station this morn… the train driver said, “This is Stratford, home to the 2012 Olympic and Paralympics village” (or something like that). He didn’t sound too enthusiastic…. as the doors opened I heard the platform announcer say something similar, and he sounded even more bored by it all.
Shame I thought…. I’m starting to get excited….. Especially as when the train pulls out of Stratford(on the way into Liverpool St) there is the practice/warmup track (with a covered walkway leading 300M into the stadium) right by the train tracks…. super close.
But then, as we arrived into L Street the train driver said something on the lines of “this is London, home of the 2012 Olympics etc etc”… and I thought yeah that’s a bit silly… it’s 0645 and this train is only full of builders and traders and it will be the same guys sitting in the same seats who will hear it again tomorrow and for the next 99 mornings.
But all in all…. Olympics, euros footy, good British chances in the TdF and my own tri events… it going to be a great summer of sport and I’m looking forward to it
