"It might be a bit off topic but if you wanted to go from Hammersmith to
Euston why didn't you use the Hammersmith and City Line to Euston Square?

Just a thought


Because the Hammersmith and Circle lines are utterly useless? Typical
scenario:
Wait for seven minutes at Paddington for an Eastbound train on an advertised
frequency of
every five minutes. At Edgware Road wait another four minutes "to regulate
the service" even though
by my reckoning the train is already late (or perhaps the previous train
left Paddington early?).
Then at Baker Street wait another three minutes for the same reason. I
nearly always take the
Bakerloo to Baker Street for the Met forward or Bakerloo to Oxford
Circus for the Victoria. Either option is better then the Circle.
