Monday saw the busiest day in the DLR's history - with 486,000 passengers - a 65 per cent increase on a normal day with Tube journeys up by five per cent. 

More frequent services and greater flexibility in travel patterns means that so far we have been able to get spectators to events while keeping London moving.   

Tomorrow's day of action packed cultural and sporting Olympic events includes the Olympic Road Cycling Time Trials in and around Hampton Court and Surrey. 

Tour de France winner Bradley Wiggins will be going for gold again and both the men's and women's time trials will start and finish at Hampton Court Palace. 

This will affect roads from 05:00.

To find out which roads will be affected and at what times, visit GetAheadoftheGames.com.

Tomorrow also includes four sessions of Beach Volleyball around Horse Guards Parade and means that Central London will be busy.

The Jubilee line will be exceptionally busy in the early evening from 15:00 to 20:00 as events are taking place at Wembley, Lord's Cricket Ground, North Greenwich Arena, Excel and the Olympic Park. 

Baker Street, Kings Cross and Green Park stations are expected to be very busy with spectators going to and from Wembley. 

Where possible avoid these stations at busy times. 

Other top tips for spectators attending sporting events today are as follows:

  • Those travelling to or from Olympic Park should consider travelling via the District line at West Ham or by National Rail via Liverpool Street, as it may be quicker
  • Those attending the late night Beach Volleyball session at Horse Guards Parade should check the time of their last train home

Events are taking place across the Capital at the Olympic Park, ExCeL, North Greenwich Arena, Greenwich Park, Royal Artillery Barracks, Horse Guards Parade, Earls Court, Lord's Cricket Ground, Wimbledon, Wembley Stadium and Wembley Arena. 

London's Transport Commissioner, Peter Hendy CBE, said: 'Londoners are being more flexible with their journeys on public transport and we are very grateful to them for avoiding the busiest times. 

'London has an enormous array of attractions to offer during the Games, so I encourage everyone to enjoy the theatres, restaurants, shops, free concerts, Live Sites and attractions and to continue to use GetAheadoftheGames.com to plan your journeys.'
