I am not sure what the original poster meant by spare D stock.


I think the idea is that all Wimbledon trains are C stock running to
Edgware Road and beyond, which I don't think the lines uses would be
happy about. That and the loss of most of the Circle pretty much kill
this proposal.



I guessed that might be the idea, replacing the Circle frequency from
HSK to Edgware Road, but beyond there, how would extra services fit
in: cut the Metropolitan at Baker Street?

One might cynically point out that the Circle Line rarely runs, but in
various ways I don't think it's a goer.
