Default Circle Line "closing" from 2009?

In message , at 21:38:24 on Sun, 29 May
2005, Dave Arquati remarked:
Lastly, Dave, you say "Works will be undertaken on the Hammersmith &
City line station at Paddington to relieve overcrowding.". Can you
expand on that at all?


I don't have anything else on it, but I presume it's because if
services run Hammersmith - Edgware Road - Tower Hill - Gloucester Road
- Edgware Road, then *everyone* heading from Paddington towards Baker
Street and King's Cross (and vice versa) will be using the current H&C
platforms, whereas at the moment they divide between the H&C and Circle
platforms.


Why is that? Are they proposing that the trains don't stop at
Paddington-Circle on the Gloucester Rd to Edgware Rd leg?
