District line Wimbleware closure
 

The District line is closed from HSK to Edgware Road this weekend (as it
was last weekend), along with the usual SSL closures from Baker St to
Liverpool Street. However, the Circle is still running to Baker Street
from HSK. Is this because they've decided they can't turn around the
Wimblewares at Edgware Road as well as the H&Cs? They seem to have
managed OK before.

I guessed it must have been the enhanced volume of H&C reversals. Have
they had the entire Hammersmith service reversing at Edgware Road
alongside the District services before?

They reduce the frequency from 8tph to 6tph (but they seem to be doing
that this weeked too, as well as during all the other closures when the
District was still running).

The Circles are only running as far as Edgware Road this weekend as the
engineering work this weekend is track replacement at Baker Street, rather
than the "usual" CTRL works at Kings Cross.

Aah, that explains it. Thanks.

And when the get there... they arrive in platform one, *, and then
reverse via the main line (outer rail) and back into platform two.
Otherwise it would still be possible to have some districts running up
to go round in the middle platforms.
