this proposal is to turn London Underground's Circle line into a particle accelerator to rival Cern there's plenty of power,a circular ring of around 30Km(?)as for the accelerator magnets, they could be mounted on rolling stock until neededthere are plenty of candidates for siting the experiments in side tunnels. Imperial college is just a proton's throw away And I'm sure Ken Livingstone would approve

       I would just like to say I am not smart enough to comment on this idea.

       Why not turn it into a commuter collider? You could try to discover new types of people particles by re-routing the tracks.

       Is it really circluar? I mean, to within a reasonable tolerance.

       No.

       Great, this would mean delays due to the wrong kind of particle on the line.
