Can you imagine any tube line being
closed for that many consecutive days now unless there had been a major
incident?

Yes. Some examples (not an exhaustive list):

2009: Stonebridge Park to Queen's Park for 10 days.
2011: High Street Kensington to Edgware Road for about a month.
2012: Newbury Park to Grange Hill for 8 days.
2014: Uxbridge to Rayners Lane for over 3 weeks.
2014: Bow Church to Stratford for 10 days.
2015: Walthamstow Central to Seven Sisters for 3 weeks.

And exactly how many of those had nothing to do with the line itself but
was due to other work going on?

Though it does prove TfL and LU are ****ing useless at major works. On the
mainline for a long closure thats not safety related they do generally single
line running and do one track at a time. It seems thats too complex for LU.

Is there any chance you could get your brain to shut down both of its
cells for a brief time, instead of single-cell-running for years?
