santino, what about the two outdoor velodromes. is whitehead velodrome free for public use? there is one i've seen on flickr.com that is kinda rundown, but it looks really cool. does this one still exist? i hope so
edit. just read the rest of your response. im assuming the old outdoor one you mention is this one.

An absolute mess, everything is being run by non cyclist from a government body (job for life and all that). So proper non sense administration accreditation process, the entire process take 6 month, you have to do few session in an old outdoor velodrome far away in new territories.
Then you can pass another accreditation at the indoor one but...because of a very limited demand, they don't run accreditation session which in the end mean no one can use the velodrome.
So in the end, a handful of people have the accreditation and they don't deliver any extra. The process is such a mess that even people who want to get it give up very quickly.
I've been very lucky to get a track pass with my race accreditation from Herne Hill.
