Circle Line "closing" from 2009?
ONscotland wrote:
I read that LUL are withdrawing the "Circle" line service, as it causes far too many delays at the various bottlenecks on the route. Naturally, the lines will still be there (ie: H&C, Met and District Line will still have services), but without a circular service operating. The nickname "tea-cup" was mentioned, as this will basically cover the stylised map of new routes that will be utilised. Does anyone have any other details on this: or is it just another plan that is being considered? No knowledge on the scheme, but the proposals on other threads to dig up the Aldgate stations and produce an integrated interchange could help such a plan no end! In my humble opinion the lines don't really work properly - far too travellers are left with no idea when the through service they need is coming, with the result that Liverpool Street fills up with everyone trying to get as far as possible and many having to make sprints between Aldgate or running around at Tower Hill in the hope of making an interchange, if they can get that far (the number of times it seems that only the Met is running astounds me). Even an upgrade of the platform indicators so that they can always show the next train for each destination combination would be an improvement (although the patisserie on the Aldgates-bound platform at Liverpool Street may not see it that way!) |
