Didn't you read the press release? It makes clear the intention to
restore the Northern Line service:

"The current Northern line service sees trains running Edgware to
Morden via Bank only and High Barnet to Morden via Charing Cross
only. London Underground and Tube Lines are working to reintroduce a
full service on the line as soon as possible and hope to be able to
do this early in the New Year."

The press release seems to disagree with the Interim Report which says:

This service pattern is being delivered by the current team
of Train operators whose duties are designed around the
integrated service pattern operated before the derailment.
Thus the train service is currently being delivered in an
inefficient manner.

A new timetable designed around the dedicated branch service
pattern is in production, aimed at being available in January
2004.

I think we are going to have the split service for many months to come.

Ouch! Missed that.

Ah, that explains it! I only read the full release and skipped the short
summary (oops!). Strange that the two disagree? Anyway, LU seem to not have
put up any adverts at their stations about a full service being resumed, so
I can only assume that their hoping people will forget about it until LU
decide to restore services.
