Aren't they putting in place the new concourse at Whitechapel as part of
the station rebuilding to support Crossrail? That's a fairly major
piece of engineering, which can affect other lines - look at what's
going to happen to Bank in a few years time...

And in any case, it's only really the new bit (plus Whitechapel to
Shadwell) which is shut - you can get under the river for once.

There you go - there's even a nice information sheet on it:

Available in many different languages should you so choose!

I'd be fascinated to know why "Crossrail" is spelled in the Latin
alphabet for Chinese, Greek, Gujurati and Urdu readers, but not for
Arabic, Bengali, Hindi, Punjabi and Tamil readers.
