www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/livetravelnews/realtime/tube/default.htmlThe Central line is closed between Woodford and Hainault. The TfL website also shows the stations on that section of line as closed, for example: But, the list of closed stations does not have all the Met and Jubilee line stations that are closed today shown, TfL just say that the line is suspended, and the Northern is not running between Finchley Central and Mill Hill East, and Mill Hill East isn't on it either. So why put Roding Valley, Chigwell and Grange Hill on the list?

Sorry to be synical but I suppose it looks better if the list isn't as long as it should be!!
On another similar note, Barbican is supposed to be open this Boxing Day in lieu of Farringdon (where Thameslink work is taking place). Barbican (or Aldersgate & Barbican as it was then) has been closed on Boxing Days since 1951.

That are many stations that are normally closed on Boxing Day. As a Met user I normally note, Amersham/Chesham-Chorleywood, Watford, Croxley, Northwood Hills, Great Portland Street and Barbican are among them.

I'm a bit late into this and a little out of touch for being stuck in the wrong bit of the country over the Christmas/New Year period.
On the assumption that the stretches of the met/jublilee that were closed were primarily for engineering work, would the stations be 'open', as in still have broadly speaking the normal staffing/ticket issuing facilities available, though trains were not calling or operating on that part of line.

Replacement bus services were running I believe, which should have called at all stations, and therefore there should have (in theory) at least been someone around to help issue tickets for the bus services. |
