Just about every night last week the Hammersmith & ****ty line was
either delayed or not running at all.


Does anyone ever use this line (aside from the trackshare bits)? I've
always found it faster to use the District/Picc/Central. The lack of
time indicators at stations West of Paddington (inclusive) doesn't help
either. Be nice if, on Paddington station, they had a sign in the main
concourse saying "next H&C train 12 minutes"


A couple of colleagues use it regularly; both work at UCL, which is hard
by Euston Square station, and live near either Royal Oak or Shepherd's
Bush (i think - somewhere out west, anyway). The one who lives in
Shepherd's Bush could get the Central line, but it would involve a walk or
a change, so usually doesn't.

I used to use it when i lived in Clapton to visit a friend who lived in
Stepney Green; train to Liverpool Street, H&C to Stepney.

stupid and character-set-dependent nerd joke

Instead of the H&C, can we just call it the @?
