As during the Olympic Games, London Underground (LU), the DLR and London Overground will run an hour later, with the last trains leaving central London and venues around 01.30.

National rail services will also operate additional services during the Paralympics.

On the roads, a Paralympic Route Network (PRN) will be in operation, but will be much smaller than the Olympic Route Network (ORN).

Again, it will be focused on the City of London, where the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) and world’s media will be based, and venues in the east of London.

The PRN in London will have just 8.7 miles of Games Lanes and, as was the case during the Olympics, these will be operated flexibly and opened to general traffic if demand from Paralympic vehicles is low.

The physical build of the PRN will begin overnight on Saturday, August 25, but it will not come into operation and be enforced until the first day of the Paralympic Games on Wednesday, August 29.

There is a separate Games Lane on the M4, also part of the PRN and operated by the Highways Agency, which comes into operation a few days earlier, on Wednesday, August 22.

During the Paralympic Games, motorists are urged to avoid driving around the PRN routes and venues, particularly around the Olympic Park in Stratford and on the A102 approach roads north and south of the Blackwall Tunnel.

The A2, A12 and A13 routes into London are also expected to be busier than usual, particularly in the morning peak. If driving is the only option, plan ahead and allow more time for your journey.
