This weekend the Met line will be closed between Wembley Park and
Aldgate. This is despite that stretch of line closing almost every
weekend from September 2004 to may 2005 for the Wembley rebuild.

It has been longer than that - there was a replacement bus service between
Harrow on the Hill and Willesden Green as long ago as June 2004. At the same
time there was no service from Harrow into Euston on the WCML because that
was closed at weekends too. Made it bloody awkward to get to Waterloo to
catch an early Eurostar !!
I'm sure that weekend closures of the Met were in force long before that.
