I've read that a 'steel framed box' is being built to allow building work
to proceed 24/7 around the running railway. No idea about the signalling,
although you would have to assume that the timescales would allow some
changes to be worthwhile.


What would it take to reset a starter signal to a standard wayside

Has anyone any idea where the displaced passengers have ended up, the
advice seems to be to either walk to Mansion House or Temple,


Whichever is closer, I supppose.


More or less the same distance, so Mansion House for eastbound, Temple for
westbound (District/Circle in both cases, of course).

But isn't Mansion House closed at weekends? And if so, wouldn't it be a good
idea to open it during the Blackfriars closure?

With Cannon Street also closed at weekends, it will be fast from Temple to
Monument :-)

or stay on train until City Thameslink.


For anyone originally intending to change to the Underground at Blackfriars,
that is just duff advice.
