Unfortunately strangers get no help from the signs on Paddington's Main
Line
platforms by the look of it.

Not so. The Paddington signs are explicit about using P16 for Kings Cross,
and were thoroughly altered to reflect the revised service pattern the week
it started. I suspect people who get caught out are completely ignoring
them because they 'already know', and visitors don't see the problem because
they do read the signs..

When we discussed this last time, someone had found photos of it all on line
somewhere.
