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.

There is http://wap.tfl.gov.uk/planner for those with mobile Internet.
The pages are a few K rather than the few hundred K for http://journeyp
lanner.tfl.gov.uk/user/XSLT_TRIP_REQUEST2?language=en&ptOptionsActive=1
I have no experience of using it at the weekend.
The realtime aspect of it is not as immediate as it might be.
http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/livetravelnews/departureboards/ sadly seems
to have no wap equivalent. Hmm! http://wap.tfl.gov.uk/tfldepboard may
do the job.

I also have no experience of Journey Planner by text. It is described at
