Default Paddington H&C - Crossrail related changes

IMHO The 1968 rearangement of the Paddington Suburban Platforms was a
mistake.


It avoided the problems when a WR dmu failed to hitch up its AWS at Subway
Junction, and had to be diverted into the Main Line station. And it avoided
the WR messing up timekeeping on the H&C and Circle Lines. Though if someone
had dreamt up bi-mode then, perhaps the Slough to Moorgate through trains
could have been resurrected.
