If you go to the lawn entrance and take the circle line terminating

Can anyone confirm that this can really be relied upon?

A dangerous assumption, I'd have thought. A reversing Circle line, like a
reversing Wimbleware, could use either of the centre platforms to reverse,
one of which requires use of one of the footbridges.

But that's not the way it works now. Platform 2 is dedicated to the
Circle reversers and platform 3 to the Wimbleware reversers, and there
are permanent signs on the platforms that say so. Has anyone actually
seen a Circle line train reverse in platform 3 since the T-cup was
introduced?
