Circle line (London Underground) Circle Stock, at first painted red and cream, later painted red all over to reduce costs. These trains included first-class accommodation, but this was downgraded in 1940. From 1947 these were replaced by 5-car trains of O and P Stock, with doors remotely operated by the guard, released by the transfer of F Stock to the Uxbridge line.

Platforms at central London stations were to be lengthened to allow 8-car trains. Construction started, the tunnels through central London being expanded
