UKTrainMan OFFLINE Local Operations Manager Posts: 1501 Thank you received: 115	Here's the current tube engineering works for the meet weekend. Take note though that, as with the last two London meets, the planned engineering works changed closer to the meet weekend. As I've posted this, I'll try to keep an eye on the situation and update closer to the meet weekend if there are any changes to the engineering works.

Just booked my advance purchase tickets. Anyone travelling on East Coast should note that the same priced ticket seems to be available direct into Liverpool Street if you put in "Avoid Kings Cross" - takes a bit longer, but will route you Peterborough-Cambridge-Liverpool Street - not actually much slower by the time you've got across London and paid the extra to Boris!

Advice - book early - there was already a difference in availability between last night and tonight!
