I can just about remember South Ken with 4 District/Circle platforms.
What would be possible, and probably not too difficult, would be to put
in an additional westbound (clockwise)track and platform at South
Kensington, so that District trains have their own track, separate from
the Circle, from here through Gloucester Road. Useful when Earls Court
is blocked, perhaps with trains waiting for a change of driver, as
Circle trains could overtake the queue. Exceptionally a District train
could use the Circle track to overtake a queue if this helped
regulating the service.

This arrangement already exists, just starting immediately west of South
Kensington rather that immediately east of it. I'm not at all convinced
that the extra platform at SK would have benefit.
