It won't happen until the fabled new sub surface stock arrives on the
scene, if we get the Olympics it will be earlier, if we don't it will be
later.

I read that LUL are withdrawing the "Circle" line service, as it causes
far too many delays at the various bottlenecks on the route.

Naturally, the lines will still be there (ie: H&C, Met and District
Line will still have services), but without a circular service
operating. The nickname "tea-cup" was mentioned, as this will basically
cover the stylised map of new routes that will be utilised.

Does anyone have any other details on this: or is it just another plan
that is being considered?


Like Clive, I've not heard of a recent plan; but there was a scrap-the-
circle plan a couple of years ago which seemed to entail running
Hammersmith and City services on a "loop the loop" basis: running along
the north of the Circle, round the bottom and round the top again before
exiting east.
