I reckon that the District line is of the maximum complexity that
can be covered by a single line identity.

Actually it is past it... the Wimbleware should be a separate line
(sharing track to Wimbledon with the District Line).

The signage at Paddington for the Circle Line is also a nightmare...
especially the bizarre and enigmatic enamel sign split in two on
platform 12 or thereabouts (perhaps Damien Hirst did it).

I agree the signs to Paddington underground at present should point
people firmly to the H&C platforms unless they are going to High St etc.

I think it does, but it's still confusing.

So, towards the footbridge on all platforms?

I don't know about that, but once you're at the Praed Street end of the
platforms you are routed back past platform 12 to the H&C. I'll check
the platforms in a few days.

Maybe the Circle Line should only run from Liverpool Street to Edgware
Road via the south side, with Circles become H&Cs at Liverpool Street
so the same timetable would operate but with a different presentation.
