Most of the H&C reverses at Whitchapel, so you should be OK just
waiting at Aldgate East for one of those. Also, the "next train to
Baker St" indicator at Aldgate doesn't seem to work until the last
minute, so catching a northbound train is a nightmare.

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.


Last we heard it was 4, but the proposed track design has changed so
it has dedicated track all the way to H&I, so it's possible they all
could.
