Default What's happening on the Waterloo & City this weekend?

Does anyone know the reason for the presence of a very large crane in
Baylis Road at Waterloo this weekend near the Waterloo and City line
shaft?

It's only a couple of years since the rolling stock was refurbished,
so what are they up to?

Thanks,

James

And why were they announcing yesterday that the Waterloo and City Line
was closed as part of the announcements for closures due to engineering
works? It's closed every Sunday, surely?

Because it was closed Sat Sun and Mon (engineering, normal no service,
engineering) and that sort of simple message is much easier for
''normals'' to understand.

I think "dumbed down" is the expression you were looking for
