London 2012’s Olympic travel ambassadors have been drafted back into service for the Christmas period.
The volunteers, who have been celebrated along with the Olympic Games Makers since the summer, will be on hand to provide travel information at some of the capital’s busiest Tube stations until January 11, 2013.
Nigel Holness, director of operational change and upgrades at London Underground, said: “Our travel ambassadors were heralded as a fantastic success during the Games for the warm welcome they gave to visitors from across the globe and their breadth of knowledge about London’s transport system.”
Almost £430 million was invested in infrastructure within and outside London to prepare for the Games.
During the event, more than half of spectators used rail to travel around the capital.
Holness added: “Our front-line staff work really hard to ensure that customers are given all the information they need to make their journeys quickly and easily, but having some extra help from the travel ambassadors during the busy festive period will give visitors an even better level of service and demonstrates our commitment to providing excellent customer care.”
