Sometimes the line runs, but the trains play hide-and-seek. You wait twelve minutes, and nothing. Then three show up at once, like they’re having a party without you. It’s the H&C’s version of a practical joke, and the punchline is always you late for work.

And let’s not forget the Circle Line sharing tracks with it. They’re like siblings bickering over a toy, except the toy is your sanity. One minute you’re on a Hammersmith-bound train, the next you’re accidentally in Edgware Road, wondering if you’ve entered a wormhole.
The Weekend Trap
Weekends are when the H&C likes to play dress-up. “Closure for improvement works,” they say. Translation: we’re digging a hole, so you’ll be walking. Is it running today? Probably not, unless you enjoy the “Rail Replacement Bus” experience, which is basically a coach ride through a maze of traffic cones.
I once made the mistake of assuming it was running on a Sunday. I ended up on a bus that took me to Hammersmith via what felt like the English countryside. Don’t be me. Check on a Friday night, or you’ll be rewriting your entire day’s plan.
