I noticed that one of the sections to be closed is the Bank section

the Northern line. This section was closed for 2 or 3 months in the

could have foreseen the work to be done in 1999. Two lengthy
closures
in the space of 5 years smacks of taking the **** to me.

The reason for the shutdown is to deal with the problems after the
work
that was carried out during the original shutdown!.

Are the contractors who did the first lot contributing anything to
paying
for it this time round?

No idea - I think there was an on-going argument as to who /what was to
blame, with two different sides battling it out between them. Possibly
unresolved, but I don't know. I assume that Tubelines are now sorting it
out as part of their overall contract since privatisation.
