That's the title of the email notifications sent out every Thursday by Transport for London to advise of planned engineering works. October 5th/6th and 12th/13th would see the High Barnet Branch of the Northern Line closed two weekends in a row for track replacement at Finchley Central and East Finchley. An extensive network of rail replacement buses was provided. In this photo Sullivan Bus WVL4 operating a replacement service to Archway from High Barnet turns onto Kingsway from the High Road. Only rail replacement buses make this turn, normal services are routed through the bus station under 100 Kingsway. The Sea Rock on the right is an Indian restaurant and occupies a building that was once a bank.
