Circle And H&c Lines (london Underground)

Today I will be suggesting a route for TSW 2. As the title says, it's about the Circle and H&C (Hammersmith & City) lines.

Hammersmith & City line

The H&C line runs between Hammersmith in West London and Barking in East London. It it's 15.8 miles long. Most of its track is shared with the other Sub Surface lines and all stations are shared aswell.


As of December 2012 there are six trains per hour calling at all stations and requiring 15 trains for the peak hour service

Circle Line

The Circle line runs from Edgware Road looping around Central London back to Edgware Road to then go to Hammersmith. The line is 17 miles long.


As of 2012 there are six tph. Calling at all stations requiring 18 trains in service. The lines depot is at Hammersmith.

The rolling stock for both lines are the S7 Stock trains. The S7 stock trains entered service on the 2 lines in 2013. The route could be during the transition phase between C69 and S7 Stock trains or could be after the transition phase but before the 4LM process began.

 

We definitely need the Circle line and S stock. The H&C line maybe as a branch should time allow, but it may look a bit empty running alongside the c2c lines without any AI there. At least on the Hammersmith branch near Royal Oak, we could get some AI on the main line from GWE layering on.

 

Bring it on and this line uses 750V DC Fourth Rail since 2013-2018 by contractor AmcoGiffen. Broken down its 500V Positive Negative 250V DC. Uses CBTC April 24th 2021 expect SPAD RAIB UK US NTSB terminology SSO Stop Signal Overrun if not used to CBTC video is on the bottom. BKL transfers Baker Street Embankment and Paddington also transfer to GWML. S Stock is from TSC Underground route

 

C stock era preferred along with when it was a genuine Circle round and round with the Hammersmith and City running separately to Edgware Road or extended towards the Barking line in the peaks. DLC potential for CO/CP or R stock too.

 

I would love a sub surface route, i'd definitely love it with the S7 stock as well

 

Totally Agree for this Route

 

Would be a great route! Don't forget the District line that shares track with Circle/H&C between Barking and Edgeware Rd (maybe having it go one stop to Earl's Court or even to Hammersmith, where you could walk between the two stations (District and Piccadilly to H&C and Circle))

 

Id like to see more tube lines, specially some subsurface stock. So id love to see this, plus, the layering on gwe be nice to have as well.
