Your tale of 26 minutes being taken for a timetabled 7 minute journey and your abortive effort to change to an earlier departing train at Edgware Road gave me a good chuckle over breakfast this morning!.
I also travelled through Edgware Road yesterday afternoon, from Gt. Portland St. to Hammersmith, at Hammersmith I intended to change for a Richmond bound District line train.
No problems or delays getting to Hammersmith, but once on the Hammersmith District/Piccadilly line platform greeted with an announcement that the District Line to Richmond service was suspended due to a broken down train. They suggested using local buses.
All part of the fun, as long as you don't have appointments to meet and feel OK, of travelling!

Well. If any posting showed why we should have the Circle line run as an end-to-end service so that that passengers had a more reliable journey then this is it.

In this case, the delay was down to a lack of drivers. I'm not sure that a new service pattern can improve that.
On the contrary, a driverless train in Edgware Road's only eastbound platform might bugger up the system something rotten.

The plan is that all clockwise Circle Line trains will terminate at platform 2, with a cross-platform interchange for Baker Street etc. on platform 1. Wimbleware trains will terminate at platform 3.
That's the plan, anyway!
Incidentally, platform 4 is the only *non-eastbound* platform.
