Does anyone know when TfL are planning to release their information on
what services they are going to run over the Christmas period?

Or are Tfl waiting for the result of the strike ballot on December
14th?

I don't know how this relates to the OP's enquiry, but it seems
tangentially relevant. The Journey Planner at http://journeyplanner.tfl
.gov.uk/user/XSLT_TRIP_REQUEST2?language=en shows "Information
regarding services over the Christmas period will be available in mid-
December", if I ask for a journey from Stratford to Canary Wharf and
specify an arrival time on 28 Dec 2011.

If I use the large print version at journeyplanner.tfl.gov.uk/bcl/XSLT_
TRIP_REQUEST2?language=en to make the same enquiry, no information of
any kind is returned.
I think my report of this to the LU CSC was done, yesterday.

A fix has yet to arrive.

Presumably "mid December" then means about midnight on 24th December.

After all, Blackfriars tube station was supposed to open in "late
2011", and I saw a notice at Kings Cross this morning confirming that
it would open in "very late 2011" (ie 26 February 2012)

I thought I was cynical.

A few days ago, the planned closures showed Blackfriars opening in the
week before Christmas. It now shows it closed on Jan 6, 2012.
I was through there some days ago. A westbound District line train
announced the next stop is Blackfriars. An eastbound Circle line train
announced the next station is closed. LU did deliver the return of
Tottenham Court Road to the Northern line on the scheduled date of Nov
28.

I am not surprised there has been some slip in a 3 year program.

Cough! Splutter! It's called Thameslink 2000, not Thameslink 2018 (the
latest date I think it's supposed to be finished). These people
*invented* slippage.
