yep me too

Once ensconced in my new abode it will be District to Earls Court, change
onto the Picc.

Why not use the much easier cross-platform change at Barons Court?

because that bit of the district doesn't go to Barons Court

Agreed, if you're on the Wimbledon branch, Earl's Court is the best place
to change (but not ideal with luggage).
