Whilst I appreciate there is co-ordination, one thing that really

passengers is the lack of information about TfL closures (and other

out by Jubilee line closures where the first I've been told about them

when I've got to the concourse at Stratford).

Really? You go out at the weekend without checking your journey on
Journey Planner?

I've learnt to the hard way. But the journey planner generally only tells me
fixed routes and not the engineering works directly. As my weekend is
generally ad hoc it's not always possible to have every route prepared in
advance.

(and yes, I know 20%ish of Londoners don't have home Internet access,
so it's not a perfect solution, but it's more than adequate for anyone
capable fo moaning about lack of provision on Usenet...)

True and I do now make an effort when I can, but this isn't an option easily
available to everyone.
