Default Circle shuttle, between where and where?

The easiest place to reverse circles (for late running etc) is Edgware
Road, Moorgate, Hamersmith or Baker St plat 2 and Aldgate if the Mets
aren't running.

It is quite rare to reform an inner rail circle to an outer rail circle
unless you are short of Train Operators

The limited service ran on Thursday and Friday with 3 each side,
instead of 7.

restored, but gives no details about the end points of the shuttle.


If indeed it is a shuttle, we can do some deductions.

Inner-to-Outer turnrounds can be done easily at Tower Hill and Mansion
House. Edgware Road is also a possibility, but it would put a lot of
strain on the two centre roads. Baker Street isn't going to be practical
in the middle of a peak service.

Outer-to-Inner turnrounds can be done easily at Moorgate or Aldgate and
less easily at Edgware Road (see above).

Unless I've forgotten something, anywhere else would require shunting
moves across a busy line in the peaks.
