Well, off the top of my head, if the reason was a matter out of LUL's
hands perhaps????

Don't laugh, they're going to start on the District from this month.
For the last two weekends Waterloo has been virtually closed, and I
believe this is going to be repeated again this weekend. There was also
vast distruption to those travelling from the Buckinhamshire area. I
wonder if the rail operators realise that people would actually like to
have the convienince of being able to travel to London at weekends? On
top of that the cost of an all zones travelcard has risen to £6.
Would you rather have it happen in weekdays???????

They aren't. There's plenty more to be done once the present batch is out
of the way!

the work is not all being done at once. However there is a huge amount
of work to be done as there is a lot of old assets to replace or
upgrade.

Things are temporarily worse because there are urgent works on the
Northern Line to deal with a long standing problem. The rebuilding of
Wembley Park knocks out the Met and Jubilee Lines and is running to a
very tight programme so as to meet various expectations connected with
the new Wembley Stadium. In addition you have upgrade work for the 7th
car project for the Jubilee Line. Oh and we have the long term closure
for Heathrow T5. That's just for the JNP lines.

There are further huge projects in the pipeline like the Victoria Line
upgrade and I would not be surprised to see regular closures of parts of
that line. However it won't happen while there are also the big closures
for track works on the District and Circle as that could potentially
leave Victoria without a tube service which I think is a step too far
for people to contemplate.
