I was assured by someone commuting to Victoria via Liverpool Street

Central/Victoria Lines.


It is a very low frequency service compared with the rest of LUL - I
think it only runs every 10 minutes or so.


It's every 8.5 minutes, but if there's any disruption there's a tendency
to withdraw the Circle trains to give the other lines a better chance to
recover.

But anyway, how would Aldgate to tower Hill be covered?


By "Tea-cup" services that would run Hammersmith - Edgware Road -
Liverpool Street - Aldgate - Tower Hill - Gloucester Road - Edgware
Road, then back again in reverse.

How would Edgware Road cope with terminating services from both
Victoria and Wimbledon?


Good question! (The "Victoria" service would be the "Tea-cup" service
described above.) I thought the change was meant to improve reliability
by giving the "Circle" trains a chance to recover delays, but the
layover at Edgware Road will be so short, I can't see it being any
better.

Is there a downloadable source for the plans?


None in detail AFAIK
