Interesting configuration of SSR services today due to Engineering Works:
A special Circle line service operates between Edgware Road and Barking (via Victoria) and Hammersmith & City line trains operate between Hammersmith and Kings Cross St Pancras
Has the Circle Line ever run out to Barking before?
Obviously it's all the same trains and I know the same drivers cover Circle and H&C diagrams (so they'll have route knowledge out to Barking), but this is usually via Aldgate junction. Does their route knowledge include Minories junction, or are pilots from the District Line involved for the Tower Hill to Aldgate East part of the route?
