I'm on a "via Victoria" (anticlockwise) circle train that started
from Edgware road on platform 2, which necessitated crossing from
the other island where the westbound Hammersmith train (albeit a
Metropolitan) had arrived at platform 4.

To achieve a cross-platform change I would have had to wait until a
District Line train reversed in platform 3 (there was none present
at the time). And then changed again if I really wanted the Circle.

Now do people believe me?

Colin I don't think anyone has not believed you. We just don't see
platforming at Edgware Rd and the split Circle Line as being the end of
civilisation as we know it.

Maybe not that, but hardly in line with the DDA.

It's asking a lot of passengers who don't want to have to struggle over
the Edgware Road footbridge to believe they can avoid that by getting a
District train that is nowhere to be seen.

I asked Roland about signs in case they held out any promises to anyone
who might have thought of waiting.
