I disagree, and wish it had happened, but regardless, the biggest problem is they failed to invest in a plan B. For example, the options for folks outside of London wanting to get in are dire and could have been solved with several large car parks next to fast mass transit - the two Westfields are perhaps the best options there right now, and those are shopping centres not intended for such use and, ironically, located right next to the expressway projects that did happen (the Westway and the A12 respectively). Maybe CrossRail will help? Park and ride from Abbey Wood, perhaps?
I have a trip to London planned later this year and it's still a toss up between parking at Westfield Stratford or just driving into the city centre and paying the congestion charge.. whereas really it should be an easy choice by now.
