Still no updates for Boxing Day and the same 'mid December' message as
of five minutes ago.


You going to keep trying it every five minutes?!


It is now 16th December, and Tfl still haven't uploaded information
for Christmas, let alone New Year. Other more organised transport
operators seem to have no problem with updating their websites in good
time, but it seems keeping their customers informed is too much for
TfL.


The Xmas and New Year travel guide leaflet provides an outline as to what
services will be running - if you want to see a graphical illustration as to
which bits of the Tube will be closed then look at the "Future dates"
facility on the service update page he
http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/livetravelnews/realtime/tube/default.html

Genuine question - what would you have done in this situation *before* the
online Journey Planner was around?

(FWIW, in those simpler days, the "Journey Planner" moniker was actually
given to the Tube map.)

The information has now been uploaded.

I suppose that in the Stone Age before the internet was invented you
would just have to use the leaflet or phone 01 222 1234, or just turn
up at the bus stop/tube station and hope for the best. I can remember
back in the '70s there was even a service on Christmas Day.
