Freight industry help for Olympics
Transport for London (TfL) released on-line data at the inaugural 2012 Freight Forum meeting, which will help firms plan and manage deliveries during the period of the Olympic Games.
Freight companies can use the data to check whether individual postcodes in the Capital will be affected by the Olympic Route Network (ORN), Central London Zone (CLZ) or road events.
Companies which enter the data into their routing software, will be able to highlight the postcodes that contain both the ORN, for example, and one or more of their delivery locations. This means that they will be able to produce a list of both clients and locations that will be impacted during Games-time, and will be a timesaving tool when planning deliveries.
