I have just noticed:
"Waterloo & City A special service with extended opening hours will
operate on Saturday 26 and Sunday 27 January. Trains operate between
0800 and 2200 Saturday and 1000 and 2000 Sunday"
It did not appear on the Planned Works Calendar http://www.tfl.gov.uk/l
ivetravelnews/planned-works/calendar/default.aspx on 24 Jan and was not
in engineering announcements on 25 Jan.

The operator at London Underground Customer Services was surprised by
it, but found out, from Supervisor Staff at Bank/Monument, that it was
remedial action for "Saturday 26 and Sunday 27 January, no service
between Edgware, East Finchley and Kennington via Bank and between
Edgware, East Finchley and Charing Cross."

No repeat is scheduled in the next 3 months.

I would have expected more publicity.


It was certainly referenced in the TfL E Mail that comes every week
about weekend engineering works. That E Mail is sent out just because
I happen to have registered my Oyster card rather than specifically
asking for the weekly eng wks info.

You are right. It is in the email, sent on Thursday, which says:
....
Northern line
There is no service this weekend between Charing Cross and East
Finchley/Edgware as well as between Kennington and East
Finchley/Edgware via Bank. This is to allow for line upgrade work and
station improvement work at Tottenham Court Road.

The Waterloo & City line will run extended hours on Saturday from 08:00
- 22:00 and on Sunday from 10:00 - 20:00 to help travel via the City.


Piccadilly line
....

At about 18:00 on Sunday, the W&C status changed to "Good Service".

"Good Service" seems to have 2 meanings:
1) A good service is running;
2) No service is timetabled.

http://cloud.tfl.gov.uk/TrackerNet/PredictionDetailed/W/BNK suggested
the service had gone about 18:30.
