Barking & Gospel Oak Line to close for 16 weeks?

Rail magazine issue 612 (25 Feb - 10 Mar) says (page 17) that the line will be closed for 16 weeks from next Christmas Day. I think it must be wrong. TfL say on this page (my emphasis):

"works are scheduled to take place on Sundays from April to December 2009 on the Richmond to Stratford line and all week, every week from late December 2009 to April 2010 between Gospel Oak and Stratford."

This press release says: "No service between Gospel Oak and Stratford for 16 continuous weeks, from 25 December 2009 until 12 April 201". Many of the other details in the press release tie up with the Rail Magazine article.
