Yes, all half a million plus of them on the Monday. Whatever you say
Boltar. I'll see you down there?

Heh , if I want to watch drug dealers, groups of skinny blokes with big dogs
trying to look tough and listen to **** music I can just wander down to my
local council carpark after midnight on saturdays.

Yes, you're so right as always...

But the work was always going to need more than just the three days of
a Bank Holiday weekend. Better to be closed for Thursday to Sunday
when the carnival is on, but the general network is quieter during the
week (the couple of days before the August Bank Holiday are less busy
than normal) than a Friday to Monday long weekend at a busier time of
year. There are a LOT of tourists and non-lowlife who attend the
carnival.

Every other holiday or event (there were some major events at wembley and the
dome recently where the jubilee was closed but TfL just gave everyone the
finger) is prime time for engineering works on the tubes and the trains, yet
the liberal lefty establishments poster child event is somehow spared even
when the bakerloo line isn't even that important in this case. Funny that.


The alternative view is that the Monday is available in case the work
overruns, but they are using this contigency day to give a service on
the busiest day of the year in the area.

Bitter and enraged about what? I haven't used the bakerloo line in about
5 years and don't live anywhere near notting hill. I just find the
hypocracy of TfL and the indifference to its main customers sticks in the
throat somewhat.

It's not very complicated - the Bakerloo line is an important element
in shifting the crowds to and from the carnival. It's not some
dastardly liberal conspiracy. Oh, sorry, it is because you say so.
Must tell that to the traffic planners - seems they're foolishly still
working in the real world.

You're right - the Bakerloo line should definitely be shut on the day
when the largest street carnival in Europe happens, regardless of the
fact it skirts and hence serves the area.

In fact, we might as well ban the carnival, that's surely the easiest
course of action, I can't see any possible problems with doing that.

When are you running for Mayor?

Given where the carnival takes place I can't see how the closed section is
particularly vital. Is there a large "posse" coming from from Elephant then?
Or perhaps all the tourists at Oxford Circus will suddenly decide to take the
long way round on the line with the worst service.

A lot of the locals who live on the streets the procession happens on
wouldn't be too upset about that from some of the interviews I've seen on TV.
