I think they use a different phrase now but it used to amuse me that
in the weekly Weekend Engineering Work e-mail TfL line closures were
always described as 'while we improve xxx' while NR closures were
described just as 'maintenance work'

The numerous weekend bustitutions currently being suffered in the Ely
area are described by NR as arising from "route improvement" work.

Well, if it means the end of the stupid layout at Ely North Junction, they
aren't wrong.
