Hi all,
On Friday I was going from KXSP to Notting Hill Gate. At KXSP, I got on a Circle line train and was going to change at Edgware Road. Upon leaving Baker Street, the driver made a PA telling us that the train would be diverted and would become a District line train to Wimbledon.
The driver also told us that the next train to Hammersmith would arrive in a couple of minutes on platform 3 at Edgware Road.
When we arrived at Edgware Road (platform 4), a Circle line train was at platform 2 going towards HSK and Victoria, which shortly after, departed. Then a minute later, a train arrived at platform 3 which was a train to Hammersmith.
I know that diversions like this are not unusual and do indeed occur. However I am confused as to why we were diverted to Wimbledon, when there was a train to Hammersmith from platform 3. However I am assuming the train that arrived at platform 3 was an ex-Wimbledon District line train.
Not really sure if it made any sense, but hopefully some of you will understand what I mean ;D
Thanks
