No trains at Paddington due to a deliberate derailment after a driver passed a red signal - a SPAD incident; no buses / coaches / taxis laid on for passengers to Heathrow; no Bakerloo Line at Paddington due to planned engeering works for Crossrail; no buses at Paddington due to road works in Praed Street and no temporary bus stops between Sussex Gardens and Eastbourne Terrace with the drivers refusing to stop near the Station; and no contingency plans by anyone. Mostly owned by get rich quick foreigners. New Britain at its best - not.
