The four minute service on the Circle will make me happy.


Is it four minutes between trains or four minutes to go right around?


It's the Circle Line, not the Large Hadron Collider...


Its probably been shut down for as long in total though.

A £5.54bn investment in four London Underground (LU) lines

Work to the District, Circle, Metropolitan and Hammersmith &

City lines will include a new signalling system, new track,
longer platforms and rebuilt train depots.

Tfl said the plans for a new signalling system include the

oldest part of the network built, which was built in 1863 and
"belong in a museum".

This, of course, is the long-delayed SSL resignalling contract
that has had at least two false starts so far. The new track, S
Stock trains, depot extensions and platform extensions have
already happened, in some cases, several years ago.


I'm sure looking forward to that two minute service at Chesham


The four minute service on the Circle will make me happy.

I note no-one here has picked up the markedly increased cost.


I don't believe that is correct, I think what they actually mean is the
H&C and Circle combined will be every 4 minutes, plus a Met every 4
minutes to give a train every 2 minutes between Baker Street and
Liverpool Street.
