Sports fans travelling to the UK for the London 2012 Olympic Games are to be offered a unique website allowing them to book up to a year in advance.

Launched earlier, the site will offer tickets to London and other host cities on the East Coast route - including Newcastle and Glasgow - for travel between July 18th and September 14th 2012.

East Coast commercial & customer service director, Peter Williams, said: “East Coast is expecting a large number of people to travel to London, Newcastle and Glasgow for London 2012 Games events and they can now book their travel on any one of our trains more than 12 months in advance.

“Throughout the duration of the Games, East Coast will operate additional services including two early morning services to London King’s Cross, one from Newcastle and one from Leeds, as well as four late evening services out of London to Yorkshire and the North East.

“In addition, we will also run one additional morning and late night service during the Paralympic Games.”

Ticketed spectators travelling to London 2012 Games events in and around London will also be given a Games Travelcard with their Games event ticket, allowing travel within zones 1–9 on most National Rail and Transport for London services throughout the day of their event.

London 2012 Games ticket holders for events at co-Host City venues outside of London will not receive a Games Travelcard to use on public transport.
