How many desks/workstations?

There were about 250 workstations at the MPC and each venue had about 50 photographer workstations.

How many lockers?

The MPC had 288 lockers and each venue had approximately 50 lockers.

Food and drink facilities?

Each floor had a catering service, but it was very expensive so I tried not to eat there. The MPC had a Macdonald's and various restaurants in the catering building.

Showers and rest areas?

I never found showers, but the journalists did have a quiet room, with nice bed-chairs in it.

How did you get to and from venues (eg walk, tube, bus, media bus)?

Travelling to venues was 90% bus and sometimes a bit of a walk to the media centre, but when carrying all the kit it often seemed like miles.
