What's wrong with Bayswater for the City? The Circle line has the same

compensate for the loss of the H&C, it would see a doubling of frequency.

(The configuration I'm imagining is as now but with no H&C and with
Wimblewares extended from Edgware Road to Whitechapel/Barking... call it
the Wimblebark if you will!)

Building on from the H&C Circle line tea cup ideas - how about two
interposed reverse loops. How about existing H&C trains (to and) from
Barking continuing from Edware Road via Bayswater and Victoria to
rejoin the original route at Aldgate East - whilst Wimbleware continues
to and from Liverpool Street, Aldgate and Victoria to join its original
route at Earls Court.

Nice idea, but I think you have too many trains on the Barking and
Wimbledon arms, as well as the southern Circle. For example, you'd have
16tph between Gloucester Road and Tower Hill before you even added any
Districts from Ealing / Richmond.

I imagine you could eliminate all other Wimbledon services, leaving
16tph on the loop service (8tph via Paddington, 8tph via Victoria)
