Bloody idiots at TfL running the tube system though...for example,
rather than ruin a much needed Met line from Baker Street into the

Watford! When those coming in fr9om out there were all failing owing
to electrical third rail pick up faults / shorting out. So what
happenerd? Yup! it failed, twixt Finchley Road & Wembley....

At 0830 this morning, that was what they were doing, using C Stock.

Quite. Given that the Met depot is in Wembley, that terminating
southbound trains at Baker Street is easy, and that if you use C-stock
you can run a through service to Edgware Road (early this morning) and
Hammersmith (by mid-afternoon), running the shuttle using H&C stock
seems sensible.

Running it to turn around at Whitechapel would've been better than
running it to Aldgate though (as it was there was no service between
Aldgate and Tower Hill or between Liverpool Street and Aldgate East,
which was annoying).
