Lengthening trains on the circle and Edgeware road branch of theDistrict lines
I think I read somewhere this week that the new stock ordered for the
Circle and Edgeware road branch of the District lines were going to have one extra carriage, and therefore have a passenger capacity. Up from 6 cards to 7 if I remember correctly. IS this going to involve a lot of platform lengthening, and if so where? If not, then why wasn't this done years ago? Or, (cynicism creeping in here) are they going to make a train from 7 short cars instead of 6 longer ones? |

Apparenly they'll be extending th platforms at Baker Street too, which will involve digging a big hole in the Marylebone Road! Not sure where, presumabley not the junction with Baker St itself |
