It is to the credit of TfL that their journey planner already seems
to know the NLL is out for that period. I

It does? I can't the journey planner to recognise that the year 2010
exists!

Nor can I. ;( I even tried:

It's a fair cop 'guvs. I cocked up. It never occurred to me to pay any
attention to the year.

I suspect a Journey Planner year should be a rolling period of about
12 months about the current month rather than the 12 months of the
current calendar year.

I also see that the Journey Planner indicates that inf. about services
over the Christmas period (including Christmas Eve) will be available
mid-December. That seem to be rather a poor show for people wanting to
plan now (including for instance booking journeys through London). Just
out of interest, is it a matter of management still being in negotiation
with unions/staff?
