Default East London Line

Are they really going to keep annoucing the East London Line is closed until
2010 that could get very annoying. Its bad enough having to listen to the
"avoid changing at Bank" annoucement.

Especially since it won't be part of the Underground then anyway. I
expect they'll continue until the people who write the leaflets about
weekend closures have cottoned on.

I think if, after the escalator work is done, these should be kept but
altered

"Please avoid changing trains at Bank/Monument station. There's no
particular reason, it's just a bad idea generally. Don't do it,
