2. Stations which are geographically separate and
not linked but which have the same name must each
be visited.


This applies to Shepherds Bush, (Central) Edgware Road, (Bakerloo)
Paddington(Bakerloo and separately Circle/District) and Hammersmith
(District & Piccadilly). [All on the Hammersmith & City line!]

Shepherds Bush, Edgware Rd and Hammersmith are clearly separate
stations.

There was some recent discussion of Paddington, for
example. What is it about Paddington that makes it "more
separate" than Kings Cross?

There are in reality three stations at Paddington. There are the original
"Bishops Road" platforms, now the H&C, the Circle/District platforms and
lastly the Bakerloo. The booking halls of the latter have been joined by
tunnel whilst the former is at the country end of the mainline platforms.

Yes, but my question is this: why aren't the two stations at Kings Cross
also regarded as separate (H&C/Circle, and Victoria/Northern/Picc).

Is it something to do with the distance between the sets of platforms?
Or having to go through barriers to reach one from the other (obviously
this also applies at KX). All three stations at Paddington are within
the main station "envelope" (which is more than you can say for the
Bakerloo at Charging Cross, whose separate booking office is under
Trafalgar Sq!)
