I'm on a "via Victoria" (anticlockwise) circle train that started
from Edgware road on platform 2, which necessitated crossing from
the other island where the westbound Hammersmith train (albeit a
Metropolitan) had arrived at platform 4.

To achieve a cross-platform change I would have had to wait until a
District Line train reversed in platform 3 (there was none present
at the time). And then changed again if I really wanted the Circle.

Now do people believe me?

How clearly was the arrangement indicated at Edgware Road, by the way? I'm
thinking of both announcements and indicators on the platforms.

The platforms have permanent signs which clearly state where the trains
will be heading. There was also a PA announcement at the station, and
one or two on the train (or possibly on the platform at earlier
stations) before it arrived.
