Christmas is officially over

Well that's it. Christmas is officially over until the next time.

How do I know? Well, it's not because the tree has gone on holiday to the attic (or mulcher), or because of Twelfth Night, or even because the card recycling boxes at the supermarket are overflowing.

No, it is because today we have the return of weekend engineering works to the Central Line.

Present indications (as of 6th January 2007) are that the following weekend engineering works are scheduled for the Central Line over the next couple of months:

• 6th / 7th January 2007 - Marble Arch to West Ruislip/ Ealing Broadway
• 13th / 14th January 2007 - Marble Arch to West Ruislip/ Ealing Broadway
• 3rd / 4th February 2007 - Liverpool Street to Woodford, Leytonstone to Newbury Park
• 10th / 11th February 2007 - Marble Arch to West Ruislip/ Ealing Broadway

As I am going in to work today, I had better set off shortly - sometimes the alternative rail replacement buses are good, sometimes they are less so.

As always, please do not use this as your official source of information. Live London Underground travel information is available on the tfl website, as is information about planned engineering works.
