I never understood the real point of services from paddington. Unless
you
live in or near the paddington area or routes leading into it then
you've still got to crawl around on the circle line to get there and
wait
for the service to leave. By the time you've done that you could
probably
be halfway to heathrow on the piccadilly line and have paid less than
half
the price. Surely if they want a really useful airport service they
should extend the 3rd rail system from south of the river to heathrow
too?
