I had to get from Paddington to Kings Cross at about 6pm on Saturday
(May 28th)

As the H&C platforms at Paddington were closed, I went to the Circle/
District line platforms and waited for the first train, fully
expecting to have to change at Edgware Road. Indeed, there were signs
at Paddington saying that "... all trains from this platform terminate
at Edgware Road..".

The first train which came was on the Circle line, but when it arrived
at Edgware Road it came in on the platform that is used for through
services to Baker Street and Kings Cross. There was no announcement
"... all change this train terminates here.. " and after a short while
the doors closed and the train proceeded on to Baker Street.

Does anyone know why this would happen? Is it a special arrangement
when the H&C platforms at Paddington are closed, or a tacit admission
by LU that the new service on the Circle line is not working?
