Default Aldgate Delays

When the circle line gets to Aldgate there is often a delay of a couple of
minutes, sometimes lasting up to 10. Is this where the drivers change
over?


Driver's don't change there but trains are timetabled an extended stop to
allow some recovery time as they're the only trains to use the two outside
platforms (normally) and they're the only platforms the Circle doesn't share
with either the Hammersmith & City or the District.

I *thought* they had dedicated platforms at Gloucester Road, too?
