Am i right in thinking that there isn't a rail replacement bus for the
northern line this evening (until the N20 starts)? The TfL website says
"Valid Underground tickets will then be accepted on all existing local
bus
routes to connect you with shuttle services", suggesting that there
aren't. Since there aren't any existing routes which do the same route
as
the northern line, this makes certain trips very hard to do.
Thanks,

All trips should be possible by bus, it just means that there may be one
or more changes necessary. Not the ideal situation, but obviously cheaper
than providing buses for a relatively short period.

If a person wanted to travel from West Finchley to Goodge Street. Could you
tell me the best buses to take.
Yes the company was saving money not providing a replacement service but
there would have been a large amount of people inconvenienced last night.
If you think that it was not widely known about until Monday evening there
would be a large amount of customers and staff who did not know until too
late.
Communication failed, as the only indication about the shut down was sent to
Group Station Managers on Friday about 16.00 by e.mail. These e.mails would
not have been read until Monday morning as these managers do not work at
weekends.
My first indication of anything going on was from the news group.
Finally it has not yet been made public what caused the incident in the
first place. It may not have anything to do with the track. It may have been
a problem with the train design or a combination of track layout and train
design. Lets hope March 7 is a success because I can guarantee there will be
a lot of positive publicity. The underground seems to be run by spin doctors
recently so lets hope words save lives.
