..... according to the BBC news tonight.

Assuming it happens....Huzzah!

Well if the 2 week "pattern" holds true perhaps the first through
piccadilly train will be a target?

You know too much!

I'd reply but theres some men just turned up in a black car and
knocking on the door

Seriously, I think I heard that the line was running non-stop somewhere?

Anyone know how the wrecked train was removed from the tunnel. Was
it towed out or cut up into bits and shipped out?

Towed out to Kings Cross, made secure with chains then towed to Acton
works.

They have also confirmed the closure of Piccadilly and District lines
planned for this weekend will go ahead, with Pic shut from Acton Town to
Hyde Park Corner, and the District shut from Earls Court to Acton
Town/Gunnersbury.

I see the District & Picc must close through Hammersmith for
"important" or "urgent" work, something which can't delayed, yet they
haven't even finished the endless Earl's Court - Whitechapel weekend
shutdowns yet. Can't we have at least one job finished before another
starts?

Why would you want to delay track replacement between Barons Court and
Acton Town? The quality of the ride on that stretch is awful and has
led to speed restrictions. I see no advantage in finishing Earl's
Court - Whitechapel first, though I agree that Metronet's progress there
seems very slow.

At least Hammersmith area users get a replacement bus service, not so
those affected by the Earl's Court - Whitechapel suspensions.
