It was the major focus of the Great Intelligence's attack on the Underground. British Army Corporal Blake and Craftsman Stephen Weams monitored a map of the Underground with the Circle Line emphasised to show the spread of the Mark II Yeti's Web. That growing black line showed that King's Cross, Embankment, Paddington station and Euston Square were under apparent Yeti control. More stations followed until the entirety of the Circle line was filled with the Web. Once the Circle line was completely captured, any people inside the Circle — such as the Army soldiers, Professor Edward Travers and the Second Doctor's team temporarily stationed at Goodge Street — were trapped.
When Jamie McCrimmon read a map of the line on the Cannon Street platform, he discovered that three consecutive stations on the line were Cannon Street, Monument and Tower Hill. (TV: The Web of Fear)
At least one Circle line station also served the Metropolitan line, and this station was briefly harassed by a stegosaurus and a triceratops during Operation Golden Age. (TV: Invasion of the Dinosaurs)
