Yes. From Barry Salter's post:

Circle:
-=-=-=-

Hammersmith - Edgware Road - Circle Outer Rail - Edgware Road :
Every 10 minutes
Edgware Road - Circle Inner Rail - Edgware Road - Hammersmith :
Every 10 minutes

Thus the "Circle" line doesn't do a round and round and round service,
but becomes a there-and-back route, albeit with a big loop.

With the gap in just the wrong place if you want to get through Edgware
Road! :-((
