Wow - was the H&C (or Met, in those days) past Whitechapel really once
peak-hours only?


It still is, isn't it?


No.

I have a friend who lived in Stepney a few years
ago, and getting home from hers was a nightmare in the evenings for
exactly that reason.


I don't know about the evenings, but there have been daytime off-peak
H&C services beyond Whitechapel for a few years now.


And did Met trains from the main line really only run through to Aldgate
in the peaks?


Er, they still do.


No. Some of them also run through to Aldgate off peak.


Maybe you knew these things. Apologies, my sarcasm detector is broken this
morning.


So is your knowledge of Underground.
