I've just had the usual 'weekend travel advice' email from TfL» (Transport for London - about).

It warns me about "planned Tube strikes scheduled for Tuesday 1 and Wednesday 3 March."

Can someone buy them a calendar?

The rumblings are we could be in for a 'summer of discontent' across many public sectors.  Quite a bit of it will be public sector workers resigning or retiring

Retiring largely at an earlier age than the rest of us will be able to, on publicly funded final salary pensions - lucky them!

GWR▸ (Great Western Railway) will, though, still sell you tickets on the tube for today. Researching Bristol to Waterloo for a day return, I am offered

Odd, as I thought that trains cancelled (and tubes are trains) got removed from the system.

Putting in a request to route via Salisbury, I get:

Cancelled trains are removed from the timetable. Journeys (or parts thereof) by Undrground are not found by journey planners looking in a timetable, so cannot be cancelled in that sense.

I think they are in the data feed file called "Additional Fixed Links", which defines various options for getting between stations: their mode labels are BUS, TUBE, WALK, FERRY, METRO, TRAM, TAXI or TRANSFER. In the entries in this file (unlike the older Fixed Links file format) there are fields for Start Date and Time, and End Date and Time. So it appears that the Tube could be turned off for a whole or part day and on again, and on a case by case basis for station pairs. And the service in that short interval could be redefined with a different transfer time. There is a limit of seven links per station pair, though it's not clear whether that is per file or per instant in time.

Given how much needs to be known to do that, and that it is unlikely it is supported by the usual feed file generation software, I'm not surprised they don't bother.
