Again? How many closures are they planning to have for that?

Actually, a better way to put it would be - how many closures did they
originally plan for and how many are they actually going to have, on
both the sub-surface and Overground lines?


It's been, in effect, a complete station rebuild, with the SSR tracks
moved, and all-new buildings. I imagine they always knew it would take
a lot of line closures.

Apparently not - they have allegedly asked for a lot more than they
originally planned because they got behind and several of them certainly
seem to be at short notice (ie advertised a week or so in advance rather
than months).
