How exactly? If we're travelling from King's Cross to East Putney with my
toddler granddaughter and a buggy, the only half reasonable route now is
Circle to Paddington, then Wimbleware. That gives a sure same platform
connection.

If the first train at King's Cross is a Hammersmith and City then we have
to change at Edgware Road where there seems to be quite a high chance of
having to hump the buggy over the bridge.

In the other direction you don't even know whether to chance it for a
cross-platform change at Edgware Road or bail out at Paddington (in fact
anywhere between High St and Paddington)
