The new service pattern on the Circle and H&C lines

Could this be a contender for the longest non stop journey on the tube or is Epping to West Ruislip still further? Just done a quick calculation. I make the distances: 54.69km Epping - West Ruislip 56.76km Amersham - Barking So the Met line would end up longer (and longer still if trains ran through to Chesham). PhilD -- |

The new service pattern on the Circle and H&C lines
As far as I know, Met from Aldgate runs only to Uxbridge. Amersham and
Chesham trains terminate at Baker Street. What about Uxbridge to Barking? |

Personally I dont see why the Met line has to run to Barking? Because at the moment, the Met trains empty out in one direction and fill up in the other. It's better to have them filling up with new people as the old ones get out. |

The off peak service pattern is: Aldgate - Uxbridge (All Stations) Baker Street - Watford (All Stations) Baker Street - Amersham (Fast - Wembley Park to Harrow and Harrow to Moor Park) In the peak there are all sorts of fast, stopping and semi-fast services running the whole or part of the line, as well as 2 with flow peak Chesham - Aldgate Fast services, there are also some other early morning and late night Chesham 8 car services. Of course the Controller often amends the stopping patterns if gaps arise in the service or divert trains to cover other branches gaps. Don't forget that the entire Sub-Surface Railway will be very very different in 10-15 years tim to what it currently is, including the District running to Uxbridge instead of the Piccadilly |

Does that mean the Picadilly line is being shortened? |
