2) Paddington: Seems to be triple. On H & C as an isolated station,

the circle to allow transfers (to where). Then one circle on the Bakerloo,
and another one on the District/Circle section. How is the setup there, how
many different Paddingtons are there and how can one interchange
from one to
the other? Do you leave the station / ticket gates to change?


The H & C platforms are basically the length of Paddington mainline
station away from the entrance to the Circle/District and Bakerloo
station.


A related question - say you want to go from Liverpool St to
Paddington, with the intention of catching the Heathrow Express. What's
better for the change at Paddington - to get a Circle train and arrive
at the front of the station, or to wait for an H&C and come along side?

Due to the cost factor I would travel From Liverpool St to Holborn,
changing to the Piccadilly for Heathrow, The Heathrow is rip-off unless
you are travelling from Paddington.
