Attached is a photo of the poster in the ticket hall which lists the times of these trains. It is undated, so I can only assume it is current, and I haven't checked whether the details are different from the last time I posted similarly.

London's Rail & Tube Services map
The 6 May 2014 edition of this map, valid from 18 May, shows the effect of some long running engineering work by omitting some interchanges. This is interesting as the map has no expiry date and often people keep and refer to editions of this map long after they are superseded. The absence of a station is quite misleading to the uninitiated who might not know of its existence and would not look it up.
At Embankment the Northern and Bakerloo line stations (so to speak) are not shown. Trains won't be stopping until early November and as the closure is not just shown by an obelisk, there must be a new edition of the map ready for the re-opening.
Similarly, the Gloucester Road Piccadilly Line "station", closed until mid December 2014, is not shown. I would have shown it with a white - ie unfilled / outline - tick.
Covent Garden is more complex - westbound trains are not stopping at weekends until mid November, and the station is exit only until then, too. This is marked with an obelisk, but no change to the map.
Bond Street is the oddity and I think may be an error. The Central line station was to open in late June, yet it is not shown even though the map is valid from 18 May. The Jubilee line station is shown, even though it is closed from early July to early December. I would have shown two separate Bond Street ticks, unfilled, with one name label and the obelisk.
