Olympic Torch Relay

[accykeef]

I have managed to locate the day, which the Olympic Torch is carried through Morecambe, from the all but useless lancashire.gov website but I would like a rough idea about times at various places.

I have searched other sites but they too only list the date (22nd June). This information should be on the MTC website but that only seems to get updated when the wind comes from the North.

I realise that actual times will be impossible to publish but the organisers must have a rough idea about timings.

Hi Keith. Here is the information that you were looking for...

You can type in any town that you know it is going through. You can even watch it live here....

Thanks Trevor, I knew the information would be out there somewhere but I couldn't find it.

This is the sort of information which should be on the local government websites but they don't appear to have a clue about how to present local information for the masses.

The information is actually on the lancaster.gov website but only the most determined people would find it buried away in sports-and-leisure/festivals-events.

There is even a video of the route on there:-

Now the difficult decision of where to watch from, I thought of up near Cupid and Child where there are no houses.

Thanks for posting the link for the video of the route. I have just watched it and paused it at a few locations.
Not a lot has changed in 6 years. More bus lane into Lancaster and Travelodge were some changes that I noticed.

Cheers. Trev..
