Er, yes. Under the teacup plan, the Circle and H&C will be merged into a
single service - there will no longer *be* H&C or
Circle-as-we-understand-it-now. Or is that not what you meant?


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...


Indeed (pay attention at the back of the class!).


Sorry, sir. Rowland was showing me his ocarina.
