I also see that the Journey Planner indicates that inf. about
services over the Christmas period (including Christmas Eve) will be
available mid-December. That seem to be rather a poor show for
people wanting to plan now (including for instance booking journeys
through London). Just out of interest, is it a matter of management
still being in negotiation with unions/staff?

What does happen with staff when a line is put out of service? What
has also happened with staff from the East London Line and what will
happen with them once the line goes back into service, which I
understand to be 23 May 2010.

In the case of the ELL, the LUL drivers were displaced to a 'depot of
their choice'. I gather many (most?) chose to transfer to Leytonstone
and have duly been trained there on the Central line. This has caused a
large over-compliment there and some are now transferring to Stratford
Market depot for the Jubilee.

Once the new ELL runs it will be operated by LOROL with their drivers.
I see.

What happens with drivers when a line is shut down for a day or two,
such as the Victoria Line?
