They could what they do in NYC in the 2 track areas run buses around the work

Yeah, right.

Questions:


a) How much quicker is a severed tube +bus going to be than a night
bus service?

b) How do you get tools to the work site? The tube tunnels in London
are pretty cramped?

c) Are there enough cross-overs to permit reversal of trains at the
right places? And do these cross-overs and signalling permit
turnbacks?

d) Is the demand for all-night tube financially going to be worth
this?
