No "call another number" message. I didn't see any announcement. When did
that happen?

Because it hasn't stopped working... yet.

See: http://www.tfl.gov.uk/contact/13879.aspx

In particular the bit at the bottom that reads

In the meantime, you'll be transferred to the new number at no extra
charge.

Presumably it will be switched off sometime soon. Which is pretty
rubbish, given the extra cost of the new number, in particular from a
mobile. I really think this change is pretty pathetic.

Anyhow, can anyone say when the ABBey/ 222 1234 enquiry number was
first in operation? And were there any telephone enquiry services
offered beforehand, possibly even in pre-LTPB days?
