Default Circle Line "closing" from 2009?

Apologies if this has been covered before, I have attempted a search
but after 8 pages I have found nothing.


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?


It's an old plan which gets revived every few years; Metronet have it in
their sights now.
