One thing I was wondering, however.
As part of the "emergency" timetable, the service to Olympia has been
axed. Surely they could run an Olympia to Tower Hill (or further,
whitechapel ?) service using some of the "spare" C-stock to cover for
the missing Circle service.

I might be wrong but I think C stock are normally stabled at
Hammersmith H&C depot. Getting them to the Olympia / Earls Court area
would mean going via Edgware Road, which is obviously not possible.

Mind you, presumably there must be some C stock units that were in
service at the time of the explosions and perhaps are temporarily
stabled elsewhere ?

Presumably those C stock trains on Wimbleware services when the bombs
struck are those being used for the reduced Wimbledon-High St service?
Plus some of the Circle line stock perhaps?
