In another thread, Dave Arquanti commented that "The new service pattern
on the Circle and H&C lines will make using Paddington much easier"
Could anyone expand on this please? A brief google has returned nothing.

Yeah what does Dave mean?

Before questioning The Dave, check your scriptu

http://www.alwaystouchout.com/project/39

Which sayeth:

"2011 - New service pattern

"The peak hour service is currently 28tph on most of the subsurface
network in Zone 1 and is due to be increased to 30tph, to be achieved by
restructuring the service - in particular the Circle line.

"Metropolitan trains would run through from Liverpool Street to Barking,
and the Hammersmith & City service would run partially to Aldgate, and
partially all the way around the Circle terminating at Edgware Road - i.e.
Hammersmith - Edgware Road - Aldgate - Victoria - Edgware Road and
reverse.

"This is meant to give a period of recovery time which the Circle line
currently lacks. Detailed information is available at Tubeprune's site and
District Dave's site.

"Works will be undertaken on the Hammersmith & City line station at
Paddington to relieve overcrowding."

Note that because of the new shape of the H&C (which, AIUI, entirely
replaces the current Circle service), at Paddington, no trains on the
Circle/District platform will go beyond Edgware Road, so should that way
lie your destination, your only option is to go to the H&C platform, which
is easier than the choice you face at present.
