Who'd have thought that this would make it so hard to get where you want
to go in Z1

You have to find the alternative bus route/stop and the alternative
journey take "forever"

Of course it's my fault really for not putting my journey into the
planner before I travelled

I'll never understand how they can still call it the Circle line when it
doesn't go in a circle any more. What was wrong with the Hammersmith &
City..?


That still runs, but there's been a much-needed increase in the frequency
of the trains between Hammersmith and Paddington. The reshaping of the
Circle line was needed for that.

Or even the Metropolitan come to that.


What about it?


Why do people have to mess with things that aren't broken..?


It was. Why do you always assume that today's London has the same transport
demands as it did in the 1960s?
