If you open http://www.tfl.gov.uk/ and navigate via "Live travel news"
to http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/livetravelnews/realtime/tube/default.html
and navigate via "This weekend" to http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/livetravel
news/realtime/by-date.aspx?offset=weekend,
you will see an advertised Central line Part closure. You may click on
it to get "Saturday 27 and Sunday 28 February, suspended between Marble
Arch and West Ruislip and between Marble Arch and Ealing Broadway ..."

If you navigate via "Track closures" to http://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/li
vetravelnews/realtime/tube/track-closures.pdf,
you will see no information on such a closure.

These 2 sources of information are regularly inconsistent. Live travel
news seems to be more reliable.

I have flagged this by phone to LU CSC.
It may be fixed by the time others look at it.

It's possible for Engineering Work plans to change *after* the "Six
month look ahead" has been published. (And also after the internal
notices and posters about said Engineering Work have been published)

Theoretically, the "Real-Time" web page and Travelcheck should be ther
most reliable, as they can be updated in real time.

Cheers,

Barry

Thanks, Barry.
I will look at writing a little code to take information from the HTML
rather than the .PDF.

The '6 month lookahead' previously showed the Central Line closure,
but it seems to have been removed in the last couple of weeks. I
assume that it was done so in error - there are plenty of posters
advertising the closure at Central Line stations, and it was included
in the weekly email, so it definitely seems to be going ahead.

(Combined with a large stretch of line closed along the top of the sub-
surface lines, I'm beginning to think that someone at TfL has a grudge
against me and is deliberately making it hard for me to get to work
this weekend - they scheduled a similar combination of closures in
November, last time I was on night shifts.)

However the PDF does claim to be correct as at 19th February and I know
this closure had already been planned before this date.
