It is a very low frequency service compared with the rest of LUL - I think it only runs every 10 minutes or so. It's every 8.5 minutes, but if there's any disruption there's a tendency to withdraw the Circle trains to give the other lines a better chance to recover. But anyway, how would Aldgate to tower Hill be covered? By "Tea-cup" services that would run Hammersmith - Edgware Road - Liverpool Street - Aldgate - Tower Hill - Gloucester Road - Edgware Road, then back again in reverse. How would Edgware Road cope with terminating services from both Victoria and Wimbledon? Good question! (The "Victoria" service would be the "Tea-cup" service described above.) I thought the change was meant to improve reliability by giving the "Circle" trains a chance to recover delays, but the layover at Edgware Road will be so short, I can't see it being any better. Is there a downloadable source for the plans? None in detail AFAIK -- Richard J. (to e-mail me, swap uk and yon in address) |
