Default Northern Line - Is it realy running?

Hi,

Before leaving home this morning I got the news from the BBC that the
Northern Line was running again from Golders Green. So I got on the 82
at Finchley and got off at Golders Green rather than go down to
Finchley Road which has been my usual journey for the past 1.5 weeks.

I asked the gentleman at the barrier if the trains were indeed running
and he replied that they were and I could change at Euston for Bank.
But when I got to the platform there was an announcement that the
trains were only running as far as Hampstead and that people should
get the rail replacement service.

I checked the tfl website this morning and they are reporting that the
tube is running, so maybe this was a temporary problem. But having
read on the tfl website on Sunday that the service would be running on
Monday (and having got off the 82 at Golders Green because I believed
them) I'm beginning to believe that tfl have no idea what is
happening.
