Circle suspended but not Hammersmith & City

In message , Jarle Hammen Knudsen writes HAMMERSMITH & CITY LINE: Good Friday 14, Saturday 15, Sunday 16 and Easter Monday 17 April, no service between Liverpool Street and Barking. Trains will operate between Hammersmith and Aldgate. Why is the Circle suspended, but not the Hammersmith & City? Don't they share tracks? -- jhk Well, as a guess, I'd say that as there is no service between Liverpool Street and Barking, Hammersmith & City Line trains will fill out the schedule to Hammersmith so there will be no need and no requirement for Circle Line trains to provide the same service. to The "Weekend travel information" email says the reason for the Circle suspension is to test new signalling. Will the Hammersmith & City line trains run with the new signalling then? They are running a circular Circle this weekend and a Hammersmith - Aldgate service; called Circle line on the trains as the H&C doesn't go to Aldgate! So, in the clockwise (outer rail) direction, there are two separate Circle line services! But separate Circle and H&C services in the anti-clock. The main work is Crossrail work at Whitechapel. Yes, that makes sense. |

It's been, in effect, a complete station rebuild, with the SSR tracks moved, and all-new buildings. I imagine they always knew it would take a lot of line closures. |

Apparently not - they have allegedly asked for a lot more than they originally planned because they got behind and several of them certainly seem to be at short notice (ie advertised a week or so in advance rather than months). |
