A staggering 7.7 million journeys were made on Southeastern trains during the 2012 Olympic Games.

That's a 20% increase on all trains on the same time last year.

Around 1.4 million of those journeys were made on the Javelin high-speed service - that is more than three times the journeys on the same time the year before.

Charles Horton, managing director of Southeastern said: “The service during the Olympics was the culmination of three years of meticulous planning and working with other industry partners, to deliver the best possible service during the Games.

"We’re really proud of our employees’ efforts as they’ve pulled out all the stops, and worked around the clock to ensure spectators could get to and from events and our customers able to make their journeys."

Throughout the 16 days of the Olympic Games 6.2 million extra seats and 3,200 extra trains were provided across all Southeastern services - with 96% of trains running on time.

An extra 1,000 staff were laid on to help spectators and passengers at the busiest stations.

Charles Horton said: “It’s important to say we’re only half way through the Games and there’s no time for complacency.

"We’re expecting large numbers of people travelling during the Paralympics in a couple of weeks."
