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. Battery locomotive L54 stands in the turn-round siding at East Finchley with a train of old ballast that has been removed from the northbound running line - L15 is visible at the other end of the train. East Finchley Station is visible in the distance. The discarded track sections were being uploaded to a truck in the station Carpark, which was sealed off for the weekend and given over to staff parking and ancillary vehicles associated with the work.
