This map has the W&C and GN&C in solid orange:

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

It still is, isn't it? 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.

Nope, the H&C runs through to Barking 7 days a week, throughout the day
now and has for quite a few years.

Glad to hear it.

Paging Clive - if that's true, i think your line guide needs updating.

Of course, that doesn't mean that it does so reliably.

Wouldn't be the H&C if it was!

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

Er, they still do.

They run both during the peak and the off peak, 7 days a week. Most of
the Uxbridge line services run to / from Aldgate and some of the
Amersham services also run through to/from Aldgate. In the past, there
was only a peak-hour service, but like the H&C line the off-peak Aldgate
services have run through for some years.

Aha, i misread that - i thought it was "only to Aldgate", rather than
"only in the peaks".
