On a different subject; it seems unlikely the Piccadilly line is going to
be operational for many weeks, if not months. Are there plans to make
alternative arrangements to service the stations North of Kings Cross ?


Don't know what alternative arrangements might be made, but there's little
or no chance that the area of suspension will get any smaller. The only
other available reversing facility on the route is at Wood Green, and this
can only be used to reverse from east to west.


So what actually precludes a westbound train running into Wood Green,
reversing (east) into the siding, then out again (west) to the
eastbound platform, before heading back east again?
