Ever since the government scrapped the "Transport Direct", I use

Do you know whether it has up-to-date info on engineering works
etc? I tried to find out but Google's algorithms seem to be
hidden.

Not hard to check if it respects which trains are not calling at
London Bridge now, surely?

It has details of long-term closures such as London Bridge and the
Goblin which are part of the base timetable.

It doesn't seem to have weekend closures though, for next Saturday it
is advising me to use the District Line to Wimbledon even though the
branch is closed.

Ah that's a good test. I was impressed by the recommendations higher up
the thread to use CityMapper, and it does seem better in many ways than
the TfL or NR journey planners, in that it suggests a number of
alternatives, has times for changing trains etc., and has timings for a
set of buses/tubes/trains, not just the one it thinks you will take.

But I just tried it for Embankment to Wimbledon for next Saturday and it
does indeed suggest taking the District Line. Pity.
