Default Guinness rules (was: Breaking the tube record using IT)

Actually, I forgot to mention, there's a completely brilliant webpage
dedicated solely to Paddington, and how & why it's appeared as a seperate
station - and not - on the tube map over the years...

Check out:

Well I like it anyway...

A couple of quick questions.

How easy is it in practice to get each train's number from
the front? What happens when you arrive on the platform and
the front of the train in into the tunnel?

Is your list of "dual" stations still definitive?

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!]


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.
