You would not have thought that if you were on the Northern Line this morning.

What sort of risk assessments will you be putting in these various transport upgrades to try to assess where any weaknesses might occur?

You are obviously going to be relying on what we know as Stratford Station at the moment, what appears to be going to be called Stratford Regional Station. One of the things we discovered a few months ago was that the level of crime at that interchange was quite high. What sorts of measures are being put in place to reduce crime so it is not a feature of the Olympic Games?

Are you aware that when we had an investigation into the new North London Railway about the expansion, which is planned for 2011, that the North London Borough Transport officers were highly sceptical as to whether the infrastructure could be delivered by 2012.

• Question by: Geoff Pope
• Meeting date: 14 June 2006

Is there an element of you saying, `Well if some of this expansion does not take place, then it is not that critical because there is already a reasonable transport network'? Is that how I take that?

How will you manage customer expectations if in fact we do fall short on delivering some of the expansion plans, such as the North London railway, East London Line extension? People feel that these are essential in order to get to and from the Games, particularly as large numbers of people will be travelling right across London to get there.

While we are on sustainable design standards, can you tell us anything more about water demand? The bid document talked about reducing water demand through sustainable management of rain and waste water. This is obviously a very topical issue now and will continue to be so through 2012.

I will give you another example. You mentioned, for example, procurement standards. One of the things that could make it very sustainable, taking an issue you brought out, the transportation of goods and services into the site, is the use of the canals and the rivers, as co-Chair of the London Waterways Commission, is something we want to see. It would be a very useful benefit to the freight industry. I do not hear much on where the thinking has been going on that front.

Renewable energy is obviously one part of the green legacy. I remember a lot of the hard sell was that this was going to be the greenest Olympics ever. One of the things I am struck by is that you do not appear to have an environmental sustainability champion on the board. Is that an omission, and how are you addressing that along with the other aspects of environmental concerns that you are going to be addressing during the delivery of the Olympics?
