As I'm sure most people know, the GOBLIN line is soon to be electrified,

No, another week yet.


No, it's closed for the whole three-day Bank holiday weekend starting
tomorrow, as part of the project.


Are you sure about that? TfL say the closure starts 4 June, and the only
LO closure listed for this weekend is Romford to Upminister for Crossrail
works.

Using RTT for Upper Holloway and Woodgrange Park, GOBLIN is bustituted
Sunday and Monday. Previous weekend closures have also been connected
with the upgrade of the line. There is nothing new about the TfL
website failing to correctly show weekend alterations involving NR/LO
other than the NLL or the DC line; on more than one occasion the
Journey Planner has failed to recognise e.g. that Northumberland Park
station has been opened on a Sunday when a Spurs game is on.
