Now that *is* an odd decision.

Latimer Road will have a platform closed for nearly a year. Currently trains
are not stopping westbound, in December they will start on the eastbound
platform. I don't think it is feasible to reopen the plaform for two days
when they are in the middle of completely rebuilding it.

I slouch corrected.

It's been closed for a while, is closed now and will be until
December. Not just this weekend.

on any part of LU in previous years... If it's a Boris decision, it's a
strange one.

Though there are the usual special bus services - eg the 2X, from
Norwood via Brixton, and then non-stop from Hyde Park Corner to
Notting Hill Gate.
