Sorry Colin, but what is there to not believe?

All Roland has described is the standard platforming, as discussed here in
u.t.l many times previously, and EXACTLY as described in last October's TfL
leaflet...
I was under the impression that it would be possible to change
without climbing the stairs. But this is clearly not implemented
westbound.

Yes it is. There is cross-platform interchange to a District train to
Wimbledon via High Street Kensington. I realise that if you wanted to
go further round the Circle, you'd also have to alight at HSK and wait
on the same platform there.

What were the origin and destination of your journey? It is relevant
to this discussion.

I was travelling from Rurostar@StP to the Wimbledon branch. Given that
there was no District Line train waiting at Edgware Rd, but there was a
Circle train, I decided to try going via Gloucester Rd (yes, another up
and down the stairs change required).

Given where I was starting from, I couldn't be bothered to trek all the
way to the Piccadilly Line.

ps. On the way back at 8pm the line was closed at Notting Hill (signal
failure) so the train went to Mansion House rather than Edgware Rd. I
changed to at Victoria for St Pancras (MML).
