Are there *any* words in the English language where a double "C" makes an "S" (as opposed to a "K" or "X") sound? I doubt there is.


Was completely blind to this one - I think I may have accidentally
clicked ignore in spell-checking.


One other thing: Use of the ampersand (&) should be confined to titles and headings, etc. In normal text, you should always write the word "and" out in full.


Ampersands removed as suggested.

Your H&C and Circle Line descent from Edgware Road to Baker Street may
be impractical. *The existing route already descends steeply.


Alternatively, an overpass over Baker Street Junction, constructed in
a shallow cut & cover, possibly with the road above raised marginally
to accomodate if neccessary.

The better solution would be to simplify the District Line. *If a
future Chelney Line could replace the Wimbledon Branch, operation of
the Western end of the Circle becomes much simpler. *A few District
Line Trains might run to Ken High Street.


The conflict at Baker Street wouldn't go away though. Districts
removed from Edgware Road might allow enhancements of H&C/Circle
frequency!

Also, be aware that TfL are real touchy about folks utilizing "their"
roundel. *IMO, the roundel should be in the public domain. *It has
been around since the London General Omnibus Company.


Well i'm not making any money out of this. If they ask me to remove it
I will.

Baker Street Junction is only just below the road surface, so any
overpass would be at street level, and the road would need far more than
"marginal" elevation.

I'm not convinced that the descent from Edgware Road is all that steep.
The ground above it doesn't seem to fall very much. I reckon that
people think it's steep because of the severe eastbound speed
restriction, but that's because the head of platform 5 is so close to
the junction. Compared to Blackfriars to City Thameslink, it looks
almost flat.
