I thank you Ian for a very interesting walk as do, I am sure, the 50
others who came.
Your reference to the afternoon queues at the municipal baths in the
days where everyone worked a half day Saturday reminded me that the
timetable of the Waterloo&City may still show this historical influence
by closing early on Saturday.
In my personal transport diary today was my first ever trip East of
Aldgate (except one visit to QMC at Mile End) on the H&C or District. I
also observed several persons trying to work out from the posters what
"replacement bus" meant in the context of a journey south of the river
from Whitechapel.
