Historical version 4 of Category Circle Line (view current version)
The Circle Line is an orbital line, meaning that trains go round and round and round it, rather than going to one end and then reversing. Despite this, the trains are still referred to as westbound and eastbound, even at the edges of the loop where this doesn't really give you any useful information. Earle on OGL makes the sensible proposition that we should use “clockwise” and “widdershins” instead.
The Wikipedia entry on the Circle Line points out that it could be seen as a kind of “virtual line”, since it doesn't have any stations of its own, merely sharing those of other lines. I kind of like this concept.
Apart from the very, very small Waterloo & City Line, the Circle Line is the only Tube line which lies totally inside zone 1.
Circle Line Pub Crawls should probably have their own page.
