I am not sure what the original poster meant by spare D stock.


I think the idea is that all Wimbledon trains are C stock running to
Edgware Road and beyond, which I don't think the lines uses would be
happy about. That and the loss of most of the Circle pretty much kill
this proposal.


I guessed that might be the idea, replacing the Circle frequency from
HSK to Edgware Road, but beyond there, how would extra services fit
in: cut the Metropolitan at Baker Street?


What I just said made no sense, sorry.

I still don't think it's a goer.


I know there are probably loads of reasons why it wouldn't happen.
Does Baker Street-Liverpool St run at full capacity? There seem to be
longer gaps between trains there compared to the southern bit of the
Circle Line.
Presumably now there are more passengers travelling to Kings Cross-St
Pancras who would welcome a through service from Earls Court.
