The Open Guide to London: the free London guide - Differences between Version 9 and Version 8 of Gloucester Road Station

Version 9 Version 8
== Line 43 == == Line 43 ==
The track system around this station was changed in 1999, as part of the overhaul of the [[Circle Line]]. As a consequence, westbound [[District Line]] and clockwise [[Circle Line]] share a platform, which is less useful than previously, where there were separate platforms. Eastbound trains come in on different platforms for the circle and district lines.
 There is an island platform between the eastbound District/Circle and westbound (clockwise) Circle, making it an easy transfer if you need to (although [[Earl's Court Station|Earl's Court]] is probably more useful).

Interchanges

This is only shown as an interchange between the Circle Line and the Piccadilly Line, the reason being that Earl's Court Station and South Kensington Station offer better interchanges with the District Line.

Access to the Piccadilly Line platforms is by lift only; Piccadilly Line trains do not stop here if there is no fire brigade cover.

There is an island platform between the eastbound District/Circle and westbound (clockwise) Circle, making it an easy transfer if you need to (although Earl's Court is probably more useful).
