line shouldn't effect the bit in the middle so I can't see a good
reason to close it.

As I mentioned recently, the work isn't taking 3 years. London
Underground are being given 3 months to pack up their things and
leave, and it's expected to be ready for test running by June 2009. So
that's a little over one year of construction. Plus their optimistic
projection is currently November 2009, which would make it closed for
less than two years.
