I think I was on the first eastbound train out of Paddington at about
21:20 that evening which claimed to be only for Edgware Road but then
immediately changed into a Circle Line. Great I thought until
arrival at Edgware Road where we managed to pause for over 5 minutes
waiting for a relief driver...

My observations (more than once for reasons I won't bore people with) on
Monday were that they were waiting for 5 minutes on every train. None of
mine changed drivers.

I'm surprised anyones bothers with the circle line TBH. On the rare
occasions I need to go to the western end of it I'll just use the central
or bakerloo and walk. It simply isn't worth the hassle using the Circle
anymore, its a total failure as a line.

If you have luggage and walking issues and want to get from King's Cross to
Putney it's still the best option. If you have a non-folding bike with you
it's the only option.
