That legacy in full:
After the Games, most of the 20km that form the Core Route Network will be transformed into priority bus lanes. The permanent improvements will also include:
• New bus shelters; • Improved information and signage along the route; • Improved public safety through additional CCTV; • Smoother flow of traffic following evaluation and changes to traffic light phasing; • Reduced pressure on “pinch point” junctions.
So, some bus lanes, bus shelters, signs, cctv, traffic signal changes.....er, that's it. Why am I completely underwhelmed?

worse than that. 'smoother traffic flow' is code for 'big three lane junctions with staggered crossings and maybe an ASL for the bravest'
'changes to traffic light phasing' = 'keep pressing that pedestrian crossing button as hard as you like, it's still going to take you an age to get a green man'
