Er, yes. Under the teacup plan, the Circle and H&C will be merged into a

Not true. There will still be trains from Hammersmith that go to
Whitechapel. The trains from Hammersmith that go to Edgware Road via
Aldgate will be in *addition* to those existing trains, thus increasing
the frequency on the Hammersmith branch. I expect they'll be branded
"Circle line", whilst there's no reason to think the "Hammersmith &
City" branding will go away, either...

Okay, i was completely confused here.

There was also the idea of the H&C and Met swapping eastern termini, which
would leave the H&C terminating at Aldgate, but even that doesn't mean
merging the H&C and Circle. I think i was just extrapolating from there
somehow.

I think my idea's better, anyway.
