Tube stations - Circle Line

[TheAngryDog]

I've just been told that the Circle Line from Euston Square to Barbican doesnt run underground. Is this correct?

If so, it will make my journey in tomorrow A LOT easier!

Why? Do you need to photosynthesis?

Some of it is not underground, form Euston to Kings Cross i'm fairly sure it is. It comes above ground at Farringdon technically but you are traveling under buildings and road for lot's of it. You will have trouble getting phone signal if that's the plan.

Hope this helps.

It's only 3 stops... Can you really not live without phone signal for 5 mins?

Actually wait it's the circle line, might be more like 15 mins

Phone signal and light have nothing to do with it.

I suffer from Patulous Eustachian Tube Disorder and Hyperaccusis. My ears are very sensitive to pressure changes and cause me massive hearing problems as a result. Last time I used the Tube it caused me the problem of having an echo in my ear because the space was opened up thanks to the pressure difference.

Ah I see. You should be fine on the route, the Circle line is not like the Northern or Jubilee lines which go really deep.

Or you could just walk.

It's just under street level (cut and cover technique) with bits open to the elements. It's also double tracked so one big wide tunnel rather than single bore deep level lines so you won't get that ear-popping pressure type feeling.

Thanks, though as it happens I ended up taking the bus this morning so set off from home at 6:30am.

Walking would be an option, but getting hot also makes my condition worse, plus my knees are borked.

As today is my last day working in London it is also not much of an issue moving forwards!

You'd enjoy the circle line challenge.

Shouldn't laugh at that but
