I know the City is still pretty dead outside office hours, but Old Street

Perhaps because of the looming rebuilding of Bank station, with a new
southbound platform tunnel for the Northern line?

That wouldn't stop them running northbound service via Bank and two-way
service via Charing Cross, would it?

Assuming they can cut the power off the two tracks independently. But
they probably need the northbound track for engineering trains to
service the works happening on the southern tracks

Both directions will be closed for a few weeks, and the southbound for much
longer.

The new signalling system is delayed, but is finally due to be put in
during the next few years. Only after that will the Night SSL be possible.

Interesting that they don't even have plans to introduce night trains on
the Bakerloo.

Most of the potential passengers are probably back under curfew by then.

Queens Park is full of luvvies! I've seen Jessica Hynes and Gordon
Kennedy use the station.

Really? Its obviously gone up in the world since I last had the mispleasure
of visiting that area. I guess its overspill from maida vale.

They've certainly run a one-way service in the past during prolonged
engineering works and I think it was around that time that they put in a new
platform at London Bridge. However the equivalent on the Charing Cross
branch was to instead blockade Charing Cross to Kennington.
