you will see an advertised Central line Part closure. You may click on
it to get "Saturday 27 and Sunday 28 February, suspended between Marble
Arch and West Ruislip and between Marble Arch and Ealing Broadway ..."

If you navigate via "Track closures" tohttp://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/li
vetravelnews/realtime/tube/track-closures.pdf,
you will see no information on such a closure.

These 2 sources of information are regularly inconsistent. Live travel
news seems to be more reliable.

It's possible for Engineering Work plans to change *after* the "Six
month look ahead" has been published. (And also after the internal
notices and posters about said Engineering Work have been published)

Theoretically, the "Real-Time" web page and Travelcheck should be ther
most reliable, as they can be updated in real time.

Thanks, Barry.
I will look at writing a little code to take information from the HTML
rather than the .PDF.
