Circle Line To Hammersmith From December 2009
TfL have confirmed that the plan to "teacup" the Circle Line will go into force in December this year.

The full details are not available yet, but services will run between Hammersmith and Edgeware Road via Liverpool Street and then reverse.

TfL discussed the plans at a London Travelwatch meeting back in October so it seems likely that the final details of the coming changes will broadly match the following:

* The Circle Line to run from Hammersmith to Edgware Road via Kings Cross then Victoria at 6tph.
* An increase in frequency between Hammersmith and Edgeware Road to 12tph.
* The Hammersmith & City to lose reversing facilities at Whitechapel, with trains running further east.
* District Line services from Wimbledon to increase from 7tph to 9tph at peak.
* The Metropolitan Line beyond Baker Street to increase from 14tph to 15tph at peak.
* The Olympia Branch of the District Line to become 3tph.
* District Line services through Hammersmith to drop from 14tph to 13tph at peak.
* Edgware Road to Wimbledon on the District likely becomes 6tph

As we mentioned then, that leaves the following platforming a possibility at Edgware Road:

* Platform 1: Circle and Hammersmith & City towards Baker Street
* Platform 2: Terminating Circle Line trains
* Platform 3: Terminating District Line trains
* Platform 4: Circle and Hammersmith & City towards Hammersmith
