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 :-)


Mansion House does not close at weekends, only Cannon Street.
