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.

No. It's Whitechapel-only on late evenings (last train ex-Barking is
the 2051) and Sundays, but runs to Barking for the rest of the day Mon-
Sat.

Ah, so it's still not all day every day to Barking. More than just in the
peaks, granted, but it's still an annoying pattern. Some people still want
to travel into town after nine!

District to Aldgate, exit and walk to Aldgate East for the Circle or
Met lines would be one way to deal with it - is Aldgate and Aldgate
East an outerchange I wonder, coz it should be if it ain't though I
bet it already is.

Dare I suggest that for a Stepney to Finsbury Park journey the new
ELLX might be handy - walk to Whitechapel (or get the District or bus
if you insist!) then one of the 8 (?) tph that will continue through
past Dalston Junction to Caledonian Rd & Barnsbury, get off at High &
I then the Vic line up to FP.
