Oh, FABULOUS.

Northern Line from Camden Town to East Finchley to be closed EVERY WEEKEND from 15/07 to 23/09. No service from Camden to Kennington via Charing Cross for 10 weekends from 29/04.

Tube Lines actually had the alternative proposal of closing the line for 3 weeks in August!!

We've been thinking of moving; perhaps we'll be looking on the Edgware branch...

They've supposedly been making improvements, that's the thing. We've been having loads of closures already: these are only notable because there are so many of them!

And the PPP makes a BIG difference in how it's done and the effects. If Blair and Brown hadn't insisted on it, and wasted time on it, they'd have been working on this already. Instead it's contracted out and by all accounts, taking longer and costing more money. It's like Crossrail: with all the time and money they're spending arguing about who's going to pay for and build it, they could just build the fucking thing!
