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.

I checked this morning... the totems on the platforms point you to the
footbridge if you want the "Circle line via Kings Cross", and to the
lawn if you want the "Circle line via Victoria". But there are only two
totems per island platform, so it's nowhere near as informative as the
instant-interchange-info-in-your-face that you get on a tube platform.
And there is no sign for the "Circle line via Ladbroke Grove", although
there is a sign for the Hammersmith & City line.
