TfL status page information mismatch for NYE 31/12/14
 

TfL status page for 31 December (for Tube, DLR & LO):
http://preview.tinyurl.com/n7m9afg

Line colours show partial closure on the District, Circle and Jubilee
lines - however the text explanation on the left for each of these
describes the closures as covering "Boxing Day 26 December, Saturday 27,
Sunday 28, Monday 29 and Tuesday 30 December."

The same mismatch between the visual representation and text description
appears on the "Planned Works Calendar" page:
https://www.tfl.gov.uk/forms/12392.aspx

A bit of proof reading is needed, me thinks!

Meanwhile the Festive Travel section of the website confirms that the
text descriptions (as opposed to the colours on a map or chart) are
correct, and these partial closures will be done and dusted in time for
NYE and the all night Tube service into New Year's Day.

(Though it does have to be said that even the aforementioned TfL Festive
Travel pages don't properly spell out the fact that there'll be an
all-night Tube service on NYE - maybe they think everyone knows it/
expects it by now?)


P.S. No boxing day Tube strike (threat) yet - and UIVMM there wasn't one
last year either. I thought that was going to become a new annual
festive tradition!

P.P.S. One annual tradition has been lost, that of the LT/TfL Festive
Travel leaflet - last one was a couple of years ago now I think. I used
to enjoy the ritual mention of the dining cruises down the Thames on
Xmas day!

Up to date tube map handouts at stations would be nice. They only had the
May one at Liverpool St yesterday so I had to ask at the window to check the
Bond St interchange had re-opened to get to Swiss Cottage. No more recent
tube map there either.

Luckily they had plenty of the December one at Finchley Road and Frognal.
That shows the re-opened Bond St connection but shows Tottenham Court Road
Central Line already closed.
