If the train destination blind shows Edgware Road, and you want to og East, get on it but be prepared to get off if it changes to Hammersmith. If the blind show Hammersmith toss a coin to decide whether or not to join the train.. If you then find yourself at the wrong Paddington station improve your health by taking a long walk to the other staion. (I hope this an official out-station interchange?) -- Peter Lawrence |

None of that makes any sense to me at all. Where are you starting from? |

Spotted a revised platform map at KXStP yesterday, approaching the Westbound SSL platform from the Khyber Pass. Sports a sticker saying words to the effect of, "This map shows the revised Circle Line service from 13th December 2009." Cheers, Barry |

The one at Euston looks really confusing, even though I already know what the plan is! Neil -- Neil Williams Put my first name before the at to reply. |

None of that makes any sense to me at all. Where are you starting from? I think he's suggesting (wrongly, or tongue in cheek?) that all Circle trains will run with either Edgware or Hammersmith on the front. But the blinds are definitely being changed en route according to posters elsewhere. A train leaving Edgware for the inner rail is supposed to be showing Circle via xxx. A through train arriving at Edgware from Hammersmith is expected to show Circle via Aldgate AIUI. Trains leaving for Hammersmith westbound will show Hammersmith - AIUI they will have displayed this from Liverpool St onwards, so westbound H&C and CIrcle trains along the top of the circle will all have the same destination showing.

As a "union guy" once memorably observed (about something totally different) "that's all very well on paper but it'll never work in theory". If we are relying on train operators memories/willpower to manually wind blinds at intermediate locations such as Liverpool Street I think we may be a bit optimistic in imagining it will actually happen with much consistancy. -- gordon |

Please excuse me if I've missed something, but what happens to the Liverpool St-Barking bit of the Hammersmith route? Is that still (going to be) running, in addition to Paddington-Hammersmith being part of the "circle" (so two colours on the diagrams for the Hammersmith branch)? Thanks. PhilD -- |

The only change planned to the H&C AIUI is that eventually the Whitechapel terminators will extend to West Ham where they are putting in a new turnback, but that seems to be independent of the Circle changes. Barry Salter has reported seeing some new line maps today, presumably he'll be able to confirm that the stretch down to Hammersmith has both colours? Paul S |
