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)


However the PDF does claim to be correct as at 19th February and I know
this closure had already been planned before this date.
