Default Circle suspended but not Hammersmith & City

CIRCLE LINE: Good Friday 14, Saturday 15, Sunday 16 and Easter Monday
17 April, no service between Hammersmith and Edgware Road.

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?

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.

They're exactly the same trains, so, no, not with passengers on board.
My guess is that the signalling test is on a part of the Circle line
that's closed this long Easter weekend.

Yes - but as pointed out there is no part of the Circle Line that is
closed that isn't shared with the Hammersmith and City line which is open.

So does that mean the Circle Line is actually a circle line this weekend?

Looks that way... the journey planner says that Aldgate to Bayswater is
direct Circle Line via Barbican. If I ask it for the same journey next
Wednesday it gives the same route but includes the change at Edgware Road.

From the Weekend travel information email: " A circular service will
operate Edgware Road – Aldgate – Edgware Road. "

I wonder if the new signalling is actually being tested on the closed
eastern section of the H&C and District lines, between Aldgate East and
West Ham?

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.
