I see it was still saying "Suspended" last night. Was that a G20
precaution or is the leak problem still going on?


Not a precaution so much as an inevitability - Bank station was closed
for much of the day as it was right in the middle of the protests
outside the Bank of England yesterday. All lines were non-stopping,
except of course for the W&C which just wasn't running at all.

I think Monument station remained open however - of course there is
currently no interchange between Bank and Monument anyway so that
would have made things a bit simpler.

Monument certainly closed for a short time, as some of my clients had
gone through it on the District Line without stopping in the afternoon.
It was closed for a shorter period than Bank, though.

Incidentally, both my guided walks, mentioned on here in advance, went
ahead yesterday with no disruption (one Tower - Globe - Blackfriars in
the afternoon, the other Festival Hall - Borough in the evening).

The only affect of what was happening up at Bank was a constantly
hovering pair of helicopters. Goodness, the pilots must have been very
bored!

You can get *from* Bank (Northern line) *to* Monument (I did it this
morning on my way to work), but the exit would have been overwhelmed
if the Bank exit had been closed as well.

At police request Colin and the same this afternoon.

Was there anything much going on at Bank today? I didn't hear any news
coverage and, being in Putney tonight, didn't see anything at King's
Cross. The District Line at St James's Park was positively quiet for 19:00
tonight.
