When the circle line gets to Aldgate there is often a delay of a
couple of minutes, sometimes lasting up to 10. Is this where the
drivers change over?


Driver's don't change there but trains are timetabled an extended
stop to allow some recovery time as they're the only trains to use
the two outside platforms (normally) and they're the only platforms
the Circle doesn't share with either the Hammersmith & City or the
District.


I *thought* they had dedicated platforms at Gloucester Road, too?


Only one, on the Outer Rail.
