the transport and security was faultless! I went on the clipper from Bankside, no queues at all until we got into the venue 
massive queues for water, no running order available, arrows pointing in the wrong direction! They got copies of the running order out in the end and covered over the wrong arrows but the queues for food and water grew until people were waiting over an hour only to find out the food had run out in several places. There were several food stalls that weren't open too. I spoke to a few people with children who were basically forced to leave at lunch time as they couldn't get any food and tbh the food area was pretty scary if you were small as so many people in such small area. Aside from this it was fab 
I walked the xc and can't wait to watch it on Monday. The backdrop is fabulous and the course has fantastic detail I am back tomorrow but shall be taking lunch with me and a few water bottles so I only have to queue once! There are several big screens around the course and you can see the one in the arena from several places so if you do walk the course you don't need to miss too much I imagine the transport will be busier during the week as there will be commuters too but it really was fine today The armed forces did a fab job, very good humoured and not at all intimidating having them there. It really was busier than it looked on tv but due to queues/course walking/big screens a lot spent most their time not in their seats.
and all the helpers and security were friendly and efficient.
). The stands are pretty exposed so take suncream (in a bottle of less than 100ml to get through security) - we got quite burnt! Hardly queued for toilets either as there are loos on the way in to each stand.
