As of last night, http://www.tfl.gov.uk leads to the new design which
has been in beta since last September - ditto for http://m.tfl.gov.uk
for mobile devices.

For comparison the old site can still be reached via
http://origin.tfl.gov.uk, at the moment at least.

I have some comments which I'll post later.

That is extremely useful information. Where did you find it.
The Customer Service Centre (CSC) told me the original service status
page was
not available. The new pages might be OK on a 20 inch screen; mine is
12.

I have some comments which I'll post later.

http://journeyplanner.tfl.gov.uk/user/XSLT_TRIP_REQUEST2?language=en
and
http://journeyplanner.tfl.gov.uk/bcl/XSLT_TRIP_REQUEST2?language=en
both continue to give access to the Journey Planner.

I am more concerned Service Status information is unreliable.
A Warwick Avenue escalator went out for a fortnight's maintenance on
17th March.
The CSC accepted the fault on 20th March, but the fault persists,
Bank says "... No down escalator between Monument station and the
Northern line platforms. Please walk down the fixed escalator ..."
The problem was fixed about 19.30, today.
I reported it to the CSC, but am not holding my breath for a correction.

This was the first reaction of people seeing the early Beta. Shame they
didn't fix it.

I strongly believe that webmasters should have their 50-inch screens
taken away and replaced by 10-inch screens, so they can get a taste of
the monstrosities they are perpetrating on the public.

The NRES website results screen is another that's ridiculously long.

no longer works in any meaningful sense in IE8 or IE9.

It does work in Mozilla Firefox ...

Lots of companies are dropping support for older versions of IE, because
maintaining IE version specific code costs money, and because very few
people use those older versions. 8 in particular is being dropped
quickly, because it's apparently the last version that Windows XP can
run - and Microsoft's XP support ends in one week's time.
