Yes the H&C will close for 3 weeks or so and yes the Circle Line will
return. I expect Mr Lydall will be holding a celebratory party as he has
taken every opportunity to moan about the revised service pattern since
it was introduced.


Can I add my own moan, then? I have no issues with the service
pattern, but having experienced it for a week, the situation at the
Paddington "H&C" platforms is both dangerous and inconvenient.

One day it took about 10 minutes to get off the platform. That is not
acceptable.

(As an aside, why are fGW, who I assume operate the barrier lines in
this area, so obsessed with revenue? It is LM policy, and very
sensible it is too, to open barriers in any situation where they are
causing substantial delays to passengers or dangerous overcrowding
levels. fGW/LUL seem rather reluctant to do this).
