Scope for Changing LU Route Linkings

How about terminating the Metropolitan line at Whitechapel instead of Aldgate? I believe that used to be done, and it would be more useful, i think: anyone who uses the Met to go to Aldgate can get of at Aldgate East, and it would drastically improve the connection from east London to the northern half of the circle (at present, the District line provides a good service to the southern half, but the H&C is seriously crappy). There are probably very good reasons why this can't be done, though. Like the fact that, with only two tracks between Aldgate East and Whitechapel, and a flat junction at Aldgate East, you couldn't fit in the H&C, District and Met services and expect to get a reliable service. This is one reason why the H&C is "seriously crappy", as it has to contend with at least 4 flat junctions between Paddington and Aldgate East. -- Richard J.
