But the work was always going to need more than just the three days of
a Bank Holiday weekend. Better to be closed for Thursday to Sunday
when the carnival is on, but the general network is quieter during the
week (the couple of days before the August Bank Holiday are less busy
than normal) than a Friday to Monday long weekend at a busier time of
year. There are a LOT of tourists and non-lowlife who attend the
carnival.

Every other holiday or event (there were some major events at wembley and the
dome recently where the jubilee was closed but TfL just gave everyone the
finger) is prime time for engineering works on the tubes and the trains, yet
the liberal lefty establishments poster child event is somehow spared even
when the bakerloo line isn't even that important in this case. Funny that.
