Circle suspended but not Hammersmith & City
CIRCLE LINE: Good Friday 14, Saturday 15, Sunday 16 and Easter Monday
17 April, no service between Hammersmith and Edgware Road. HAMMERSMITH & CITY LINE: Good Friday 14, Saturday 15, Sunday 16 and Easter Monday 17 April, no service between Liverpool Street and Barking. Trains will operate between Hammersmith and Aldgate. Why is the Circle suspended, but not the Hammersmith & City? Don't they share tracks? -- jhk |

My guess is that the signalling test is on a part of the Circle line that's closed this long Easter weekend. Yes - but as pointed out there is no part of the Circle Line that is closed that isn't shared with the Hammersmith and City line which is open. |

If I ask it for the same journey next Wednesday it gives the same route but includes the change at Edgware Road. |

" I wonder if the new signalling is actually being tested on the closed eastern section of the H&C and District lines, between Aldgate East and West Ham? |

Will the Hammersmith & City line trains run with the new signalling then? They are running a circular Circle this weekend and a Hammersmith - Aldgate service; called Circle line on the trains as the H&C doesn't go to Aldgate! So, in the clockwise (outer rail) direction, there are two separate Circle line services! But separate Circle and H&C services in the anti-clock. The main work is Crossrail work at Whitechapel. Yes, that makes sense. |
