Default Victoria line works

Works will be ongoing until the end of the year. The original
advertised works, with early weekday closures as well, finished in
November allowing full use of the line in the run up to Christmas.
However, there was always going to be further weekend closures
throughout 2009, whilst the new signalling was finished/commissioned
and the new trains commissioned. There is a link (http://
www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/livetravelnews/realtime/tube/track-closures.pdf)
on the TfL website showing all the planned closures for the next 6
months (although it seems to run April to September), at least they
seem to be avoiding having both the Victoria and District lines shut
at Victoria on the same days.

I did see some notices about the closure patterns through to 2009,
right at the start of works.
