LONDON (AP) ? Severe delays were reported Friday morning on a busy subway line serving Olympic venues, on the day that the athletics ? also known as track and field ? competition gets under way.
Transport for London said service on the Central Line, which links the center of the city with the Olympic complex, had been briefly suspended because of a signal failure. Officials said full service was resumed by 9 a.m. after a partial suspension that lasted more than an hour.
The problems developed on what officials expect to be one of the busiest days at the Olympics Park in east London, with some 200,000 people expected for a variety of events.
Friday marks the first day of events inside the 80,000-seat Olympic Stadium.
Officials are also restricting access to an oversize shopping mall next to the Olympic Park for Friday and Saturday because of the large crowds expected. Only ticket holders or accredited workers will be allowed into the mall during the day.
