No "call another number" message. I didn't see any announcement.
When did that happen?

Because it hasn't stopped working... yet.

See: http://www.tfl.gov.uk/contact/13879.aspx

In particular the bit at the bottom that reads

If you call 020 7222 1234
In the meantime, you'll be transferred to the new number at no extra
charge.

Presumably it will be switched off sometime soon. Which is pretty
rubbish, given the extra cost of the new number, in particular from
a
mobile. I really think this change is pretty pathetic.

Anyhow, can anyone say when the ABBey/ 222 1234 enquiry number was
first in operation? And were there any telephone enquiry services
offered beforehand, possibly even in pre-LTPB days?

Odd. I'll swear I got a recorded message telling me something like that
last time I called it.

Perhaps I'm getting confused with the Oyster "help" line whose 020 7222
xxxx number is unobtainable now.
