AFAIK, bicycles are not allowed on the Circle Line.

Oh yes they are! Bicycles are not allowed on the _underground_ sections
of 'deep tube' lines (Northern, Central, Piccadilly, Victoria, Jubilee &
Bakerloo) at any time but are allowed off-peak on the Metropolitan,
Hammersmith & City, District and the Circle line. They are allowed on
the overground sections of tube lines off-peak.

I've never understood the specific ban on bicycles on the Northern Line
between Colindale and Hendon Central, (obliquely) referred to on the
above site.


Anyone know the reason?


A tunnel, stating about 100m north of Hendon Central station. Bikes are
banned in tunnels, innit?
