Isn't is also possible at Edgware Road to get off any eastbound train

Normally. Very occasionally an eastbound will use platform 3 (on the
westbound island).

and take the next westbound Wimbleware from across the platform?

It might not be the *next* one - normal service is for Wimbleware trains
to reverse alternately in the two centre platforms while Circle and
Hammersmiths use the outer platforms.

The same situation applies at Aldgate (except that the buffer stops
ensure that the centre platforms aren't used by through trains). And if
you were lucky you could get an eastbound District that was reversing at
Tower Hill or Mansion House.
