I think I read somewhere this week that the new stock ordered for the
Circle and Edgeware road branch of the District lines were going to have
one extra carriage, and therefore have a passenger capacity. Up from 6
cards to 7 if I remember correctly.

IS this going to involve a lot of platform lengthening, and if so where?



Yes. Bayswater, Hammersmith (Met) and Notting Hill Gate, IIRC.



Apparenly they'll be extending th platforms at Baker Street too, which
will involve digging a big hole in the Marylebone Road! Not sure where,
presumabley not the junction with Baker St itself
