Well as you said - based on what? *Look at what has happened already -
the Bakerloo was shut before the official start of the strike - and
I'll be gobsmacked if any of the lines get remotely close to those

station people turn up.

Thanks for all the comments.

Further bleat for the record: TFL's publicity about the Overground
running as usual was silent about station closures (eg Highbury &
Islington). *Will the wannabe Damian McBrides ever learn that spin only
works if the punters don't see that it is spin?


The only strike related message on the "Current Overground network
status" page on the TfL website has this to say:
---quote---
A MESSAGE FOR LONDON OVERGROUND (STRIKE ACTION): A full service will
operate with the exception that trains will not stop at Blackhorse
Road as the station is closed. Additional services will operate where
possible.
---/quote---

Apart from the somewhat strange way it's phrased, it makes no mention
of any LUL managed station on the LO network being closed apart from
Blackhorse Road (which Paul C has previously mentioned as likely to
simply be closed).

Or maybe the strange phrasing indicates it's an instruction from on
high to the minions at LO - you *will* run a full service tomorrow,
regardless of the facts on the ground! i.e. it's a kind of exercise of
mind over matter?
