Has anybody seen the TfL Christmas service summary. I have seen NR and my local bus company's. I assume it's the same as previous years but it's always nice to see if there are any changes in which stations are open. (Used to spend an evening comparing each year's to the last when working in Croxley Booking Office had to do something to keep myself awake.)

Anything was better than staring at a Photobooth or reading the T/C for the umpteenth time. Must admit I did manage to read a few books in those days. Specially on a Sunday evening, lucky to see more than a dozen people between 1800 and close of traffic. Total entry and exits for Sundays in 2003 was on average 200 approx. If you able to go back further it would show even less.

Reading the above does it mean that stations at the north end of the Met will be open. If so WHY?
