[edit] Circle Line platforms

"Platforms 1 and 4 at Aldgate are the only platforms on the network to be served exclusively by the Circle Line. All other Circle Line platforms are shared by the District, Metropolitan and/or Hammersmith & City Lines."

Platform 4 is actually signed as a Circle and Metropolitan Line platform. However, I think this is just because the line north of Aldgate is drawn that way on the map, and not because Metropolitan Line trains actually stop there. Any Metropolitan Line train departing from Platform 4 would need to enter either from the south as a Circle Line train (unlikely, as the lines are normally serviced by different stock) or from the north as a Metropolitan Line train (running into a through platform in the "wrong" direction, and blocking the Circle Line during turnaround). I can't believe this ever happens in normal service, so I'm claiming that Platform 4 is an exclusive Circle Line platform. Mtford 19:28, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
