Are they any more frequent than our Tube? I didn't get that impression

found it a much harder system to navigate.

The frequency was about the same, but it always seemed reliable. There was
none of this 15 min wait in the rush hour ********

Do you mean on the outer end of a branch like at Amersham or somewhere?
I don't think I've ever waited more than 6 or 7 minutes even in places
like Stanmore or Ruislip Gardens at 7.30am on a Sunday.

You've obviously never waited for a Circle Line train at Monument.

Yes, fair enough. Waiting for the Circle Line is one of those
occasions I'd overlooked when posting and I'm happy to correct myself!
:-) That said, Circle Line train always seem to come quickly and
often.......whenever I'm wanting a District Line one!

It's just one of those features of the Underground, like "whichever
entrance I use at Charing Cross is always the one furthest from the
platform I want" and "don't change at Green Park unless you can help
it"!

Mind you, the change at Opera/Auber in Paris often seems to *involve* a
walk via London.......

Any trip that I make to my client in Aubervilliers *always* involves a cab
from Gare Du Nord! ;-)
