Speaking as a regular H&C user, they may as well be on strike every day for
all the use the service is.

It's so unreliable with random intervals between trains frequently reaching
20 minutes, even at peak hours, that it's almost always quicker to take an
alternative route than wait in vain for the H&C.

For example, it's almost always quicker to walk from Whitechapel to
Liverpool Street (about 15 mins) that wait ages for the train, which will
then waste another 5 mins just west of Aldgate East waiting for the Met
trains to be out of the way.

Some dot matrix signs at Whitechapel might help a bit (at the moment there's
no way of telling if an H&C is 2 mins away, or 20). Anyone know if these are
planned in the near future?

AIUI, it's only the Hammersmith & City and Circle that would be
affected,
and only on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve.

Re alternative services: there are plenty of links using
Bakerloo/Northern/Central etc. that can be used to avoid the northern
side
of the Circle, or buses.


So if Hammersmith & City lines and Circle lines so un-neccessary and
there are so many alternatives to them why don't we just sack all the
train drivers on these lines and get rid of the lines completelty?
