The 'misery line', somewhat rehabilitated of late, could take a turn for the worse if the Evening Standard are to be believed. According to reports, Tube Lines have asked TfL for permission to close parts of the line from 10pm on weekdays in order to install new signalling equipment. This comes just a day after the private contractor was lambasted by the Mayor for their inability to keep to schedule on the Jubilee Line upgrades. Tube Lines say that any early closures would not affect the central portions of the line, which service popular night time spots such as Leicester Square and Piccadilly Circus.
