As long as we understand they are not the same thing!
That said it's not much better at Arsenal either, when a 60,000 seater stadium empties it's a good idea to have more than 1 train every 5 or so minutes but the geniuses at TFL haven't worked that out yet.
Still I hope this will improve the system as well as give TFL more control over the lines they close.

The difference being that the Paris Metro work took place overnight. Something which TFL apparently claim is too expensive. .

This may be true but the Paris Metro is awful in a lot of other respects, out-dated metal coffins they call trains, much dirtier stations, beggars on the line.
