Connectivity

writes 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. Absent the *extremely* rare reversal at King's Cross or Farringdon, *ALL* eastbound H&C trains call at both Euston Square and Aldgate East and are not overtaken by Circle or Met. trains en route. So you can *never* save time by doing what you say you do; you simply wait at a different place. Yes, an Aldgate interchange would allow you to take a Circle/Met. to Aldgate and then walk through long enough passages to miss the following H&C train, but I'm not sure that there's a great public benefit there. Are the through platforms at Aldgate long enough to support Met trains? No. -- Clive D.W.
