You know, if you're not looking forward to blogging about something, you don't have to blog about it just because you decided to do "tube year" a few months ago. It is YOUR blog, remember!
As always, I'm looking forward to whatever you write.

Why has the line not become (a la Bakerloo) the Hamcity?

I hope you are going to include the lost station of Hammersmith (Grove Road) and it's viaduct!

Another fact... It includes the only stretch of the Underground in which three separate lines run together serving the same stations, between Baker Street and Liverpool Street (with the Circle and Metropolitan lines).

At the eastern end of the line, you can walk through Wentworth and Whitechapel markets and at the western end through Portobello and Shepherds Bush markets. Get your shopping in at the same time.

Don't you mean 3 tube lines run from Hammersmith to the City? You've forgotten the District Line!

The unusually large gap between the tracks on the Hammersmith - Westbourne Park section is a legacy of the original bi-gauge construction, broad gauge services from Farringdon Street to Hammersmith being originally provided by the GWR from 1864.

Many of the areas around Latimer Road were used for location scenes by Ealing Studios.

Actually, the H&C has fewer stations in the City (three) than either the Circle (eight) or the District (four).
The District has Blackfriars, Mansion House, Cannon Street and Monument. The H&C has Barbican, Moorgate and Liverpool Street. The Circle has all of the above, plus Aldgate.
(Temple, Tower Hill, Aldgate East, and Farringdon are all just outside the boundary)

To be pedantic, the line from Hammersmith that passes through fewest stations in the City is called the Picadilly Line
(the London Overground and Central Line both pass through the London Borough of Hammersmith as well, but not through Hammersmith itself)

When I lived in Plaistow I got so frustrated that the platform indicators never showed when a H&C service was leaving the bay platform. So often I sat waiting on the through platform only to watch the H&C pull out of the bay. It didn't help that the though service platform indicators tended not to show any information either. On the plus side a Plaistow bound train in the opposite direction usually meant getting a seat.
