They were advised to take a train to KX and do a cross-platform
change and come back to LS on the other side. I've never heard that
variant before!

I thought I'd suggested it at one point.

KXSP, Gloucester Road, and South Kensington are the three stations
where you can do this.

Isn't is also possible at Edgware Road to get off any eastbound train
and take the next westbound Wimbleware from across the platform? Or
does this only apply at some times of day?

Only if you're lucky. I was a bit dischuffed to arrive there on a District
train on the way from East Putney to King's Cross with a bike and the
train terminated on the Westbound platform. We had to hump the bike over
the bridge and missed the waiting H&C train.

The inner Eastbound platform has been used for outer rail Circle trains
the last two times I've been there.
