Or something, so you can do it all at Aldgate. This, however, would be awful for anyone who just wanted to head east - you'd have to choose between two platforms and hope you picked the one with the first train, whereas at present, you just have one. I'm not really sure who it would make life easier for; the stations on either side provide easier changes from the District and H&C to the Circle. Maybe, but the service on the H&C is frankly poor. Many times when I've had to travel Euston Square to Stepney Green I've found it impossible to catch a through service and instead wind up having to change two or three times using the Circle/Met (sometimes both if one stops at Moorgate), H&C and District. An integrated Aldgate station would usually allow me a single interchange rather than perpetually catching trains for two stops at a time on a through route. What i'd do, if we were going to dig up bits of the City, is rearrange Tower Hill - possibly with an extra bit of track from Minories junction - so that Metropolitan trains could terminate there instead of Aldgate. Oh, and link the station up with Fenchurch Street and Tower Gateway properly while i'm down there. Are the through platforms at Aldgate long enough to support Met trains? Otherwise I'm inclined to agree with this. |
