LU reverted to the old-style Circle on Tuesday evening this week (10 April) after an earlier signalling failure at Baker Street which resulted in the northern side of the Circle being closed. The resumption of service in the evening consisted only of an (old-style) Circle Line service, plus a shuttle service between Hammersmith and Edgware Road. Quite why LU decided to recover from the suspension by operating a completely different service from normal is a mystery. The result was predictably a shambles. I saw two successive westbound trains held up for 10 minutes while a driver was found. At one point there were 4 drivers and a manager on the platform, while we waited for a 5th driver to arrive who could actually take the train forward. I think I was on the first eastbound train out of Paddington at about 21:20 that evening which claimed to be only for Edgware Road but then immediately changed into a Circle Line. Great I thought until arrival at Edgware Road where we managed to pause for over 5 minutes waiting for a relief driver... |

The circle line goes to putney now? No wonder its been having problems. Seriously , if you have a bike why not just ride it and save yourself some money? Otherwise why bring it?

Quick question, please --
In 2 weeks I need to go from Bayswater to Great Portland St. Last time I took the Circle Line, no probs. I just looked at the interactive map and, although this thread is about "circle restored", the interactive map still shows the Circle only goes as far as Edgeware Rd. Here's the Question! Is the map behind and I can get to Grt Portland from Bayswater via Circle? Thanks! Looking forward to being back in London. |

So it really was back to the authentic Circle line then ! It's more reliable now, but the situation at Paddington in the peaks is somewhere between a joke and downright dangerous. There *must* have been some way to put in a temporary staircase at the other end of the platforms so a one way system could be implemented. It's gone on for over a year now. Neil |

When I worked in London, I usually, especially once FCC and/or TfL added far above inflation rises to the cost of day travelcards, cycled between King's Cross and the office in Westminster. I sometimes stayed in Putney overnight. After a long day at work I sometimes didn't cycle the whole way, only to Vauxhall (nearest Zone 2 station). In the morning I cycled from Putney to Westminster except when my tyre blew up once. -- Colin Rosenstiel |

Is the map behind and I can get to Grt Portland from Bayswater via Circle? Circle trains operate a "pan handle" service from Hammersmith then round the circle via KX, Tower Hill, High St Ken and terminate at Edgware Road. They then reverse and go back round the circle via HSK, Tower Hill, KX and then back to Hammersmith. If you board a train on the western section of the Circle then you must change trains to reach Baker Street and stations further east. Similarly if you board a train east of Edgware Road and want to reach Bayswater and stations south thereof you must change trains at Edgware Road. Passengers for Paddington would simply take a Hammersmith train and use the H&C ticket hall to exit at Paddington. Much of this thread was related to a temporary service pattern that LU used to recover from a serious operational problem at baker Street. On rare occasions the "old" Circle Line re-emerges at weekends if there is engineering work that closes the line to Hammersmith. Thank you. I'm going to have to print this out! |

I think at first it's luck of the draw and after that you're influenced by what happened to you the first few times. I would stand freezing at Bayswater waiting for the yellow or the green. I know other people complained passionately about the black the same way; but the Northern line always treated me well. I think a bunch of us are just fascinated by the Underground, giving the trains and lines a personality, and we have expectations of them. To most other people the Underground is just transportation. I mean -- aren't you proud that you can be still on the pavement and yet know which train in what direction is arriving many feet below you? It's like bird watching or plane spotting :-) |

Either the Victoria Line and SWT to Putney or the H&C or Circle to Edgware Road and District from there to East Putney in much the same journey time.

You then simply transfer to the Eastbound platform (4 I think) and catch the first train from Hammersmith, either Circle or Hammersmith and City, to Great Portland Street. In the other direction it's not quite so easy. You get a Circle or Hammersmith train to Edgware Road but there you have to work out which of platforms 2 and 3 has the first train to Bayswater standing at it. The Passenger Information System at Edgware Road is so awful they don't tell you when trains are due to leave. And, IME, there are no platform staff to help you either. -- Colin Rosenstiel |

Suppose you get to bayswater and the white board says no circle. then you have to take district and follow the change at edgeware instructions. This is how I believe it works. |

If you take DISTRICT line from Bayswater you would have to change for the Circle or H&C at Edgeware. Here's the link: Unfortunately your link is session specific and timed out. Here's a screenshot of the same journey. http://www.tablazonvalley.com/details.jpg I think you are misinterpreting the route. If you could stay on the Circle line, there would be no point in showing the connection at Edgeware. They give you the choice of circle or district at bayswater. If you took district then you have to change at edgeware. If you took circle, you can stay on the train to get to great portland. Suppose you get to bayswater and the white board says no circle. then you have to take district and follow the change at edgeware instructions. This is how I believe it works. That is not how it works! Both District AND Circle trains from Bayswater terminate at Edgware Road. If you want to reach Great Portland Street you have to cross to platform 1 at Edgware Road and take a Circle or Hammersmith and City train that comes from Hammersmith. -- Colin Rosenstiel |
