Possibly the squeakiest tube line, though the Circle has its moments...

Can't be good for wheel wear.

I'd also like to add the Waterloo & City, which I believe is (bar the
section of the Northern between Stockwell and somewhere south of London
Bridge) the oldest deep-level line on the network.

Just out of interest, I passed through Moorgate yesterday and noticed 2
terminating platforms (I think numnbers 3 and 4) between the Met/Circle
and Thameslink lines. What exactly are/were they for?

Terminating.

A few years back, the timetable contained "runs as required" paths for
specials from Moorgate to Putney Bridge via Edgware Road, for when Chelsea
are playing at home to a team from GNER or Midland Mainline territory. I
don't know if these paths are still booked, or used.

How would such a train be advertised... Is it a District Line train to
Edgware Road, then a H&C to Moorgate?

Would many passengers stay on the train from Fulham Bdwy to Kings
Cross? I thought most would change @ Earls Court for the Pic line
