Default Is the teacup necessary?

Okay, i was completely confused here.


Surely the confusion which has occurred on this group involving people
with a transport "bent" demonstrates the potential folly of unleashing
the proposal in its current form upon "normals" many of whom having
been used to the present "Circle Line" warts and all for decades.
Would the "proper" way to do it not be to expunge absolutely all
future reference to "Circle Line" and "Hammersmith and City Line" and
create a new frying-pan-shaped line which would embrace the current
circle line plus the "handle" to/from Hammersmith. This line would be
given a new name e.g. the "Elizabeth Line" with a colour not currently
featured on the underground map. The Metropolitan line service east of
Baker Street would be enhanced to replace the section of the current H
& C to Aldgate East and beyond.
