Circle shuttle, between where and where?
 

"A limited service is running for the first time on the last Tube line
still affected by the 7 July attacks - exactly four weeks on.

"A shuttle service will run on the Circle Line every 20 minutes between
0700 BST and 0900 BST and 1600 BST and 1815 BST on Thursday.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/4744293.stm

The tfl site merely says there have been some Circle line service
restored, but gives no details about the end points of the shuttle.

Well it's a circle isn't it!

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.

Although I'm beginning to think that the BBC Reporter thinks "shuttle"
means "reduced" rather than "back and forth".

Maybe it means that the passengers have to get out and fix the underside of
the thing before they can arrive at their destination?

Ho ho!

And with both shuttles your destination can be the same as your
departure point.

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.
