Omg! Yet more strikes

Speaking as a regular H&C user, they may as well be on strike every day
for
all the use the service is.
It's so unreliable with random intervals between trains frequently
reaching
20 minutes, even at peak hours, that it's almost always quicker to take an
alternative route than wait in vain for the H&C.
For example, it's almost always quicker to walk from Whitechapel to
Liverpool Street (about 15 mins) that wait ages for the train, which will
then waste another 5 mins just west of Aldgate East waiting for the Met
trains to be out of the way.
Some dot matrix signs at Whitechapel might help a bit (at the moment
there's
no way of telling if an H&C is 2 mins away, or 20). Anyone know if these
are
planned in the near future?

There will be no need, if the information i've been given is correct. The
h&c will reverse at algate, the Met main will reverse at barking,
whitechaple is being rebuilt, it wIll be a normal station where no trains
will reverse. should be complete by 2025,
