The TfL live map currently shows the circle and H&C lines as not running
between Baker Street and Aldgate. This is correct. However the map would
also seem to show that the Metropolitan line is running through to Aldgate.

However, clicking through to the details of the Circle closure reveals that
'The Metropolitan line does not run between Baker Street and Aldgate at
these times'.

This is very misleading, I wonder why they're doing this. is this purely so
they can advertise a Good Service on the Metropolitan line? In which case,
surely correct travel information should trump this?

Are they saying that the "through City Service" isn't running anyway,
due to the holiday period?

I don't know, but surely the point of the Live Map is to see at a glance
what's running and what's not? That's no good at all if they're trying to
fiddle the figures by not showing some closures.

Is it a "closure" though, rather than a planned timetable alteration for
the period in question? I don't know - perhaps in previous years they
ran through to the City during the whole holiday.

Honestly, I don't know.

But I really think it's a moot point: The Metropolitan lines runs through
to Aldgate. If it isn't for any reason, I would expect to see that on the
live map. The Waterloo And City shows as 'disrupted' every Sunday.
