So, problem solved (at least by the usual definition here) and anyone

That's a bit extreme. *The Circle Line had a problem of atrocious

I was referring to the general attitude of the group whenever anyone
faces new inconvenience. A bit throwaway, I admit.


What, OOI, would be your suggestion to prevent the situation that
occurred before, e.g. half hour gaps in service followed by 4 trains
together? *People wouldn't like trains sitting at Aldgate for 20
minutes' recovery time (the only other place where it would really
make sense to hold them as they're completely out of the way there).


There have been long threads about it where ideas, including mine,
have been suggested.

Basically, I don't necessarily accept the need for increased frequency
on the Hammersmith branch.

I think I suggested

*running the teacup as now, from Hammersmith to Edgware Road

*extending the Wimbleware to Barking

*if really necessary, run Hammersmith to Edgware Road shuttle and busy
shopping times

That would leave nearly all frequencies intact and provide all the
interchange opportunities needed.

Hammersmith to Whitechapel or beyond is better provided by the
District anyway.
