That's correct. Links to the planning drawings have been posted in
previous threads over the last few years but you may have missed them.
There will be no paid side access between the H&C and National Rail
platforms.

IMHO the Bridge could usefully stretch all the way to Platform one
giving access to all mainline platforms.

The CP5 enhancement plans for PAD include a further development of the
west end footbridges, although detail is a bit sketchy.

It is an awful long walk from Praed Street to the Canal Side. I am
not even sure of the way. If one wants to travel clockwise on the
Circle the District and Circle Line platforms are not real helpful.
One can only reach Edgware Road without changing trains.

CJBs did not provide a full or correct description though. He is
grinding a personal axe about Paddington, as usual.

The canal side entrance is not the only entrance to the new H&C
station, there is also an entrance from the station side (it's
effectively in line with the taxi waiting area, and is also
accessible from the 'land side' footbridge at the end of the train
shed).

Passengers between the station and the H&C will NOT need to go via
the canal side entrance...

Is there a plan available showing the current and planned circulation?
