Are you saying that one will no longer be able to reach the H&C
platforms from the existing bridge? *i.e. up the steps on platform 12,
over the bridge and then down steps to suburban platforms 13 & 14, or
further over the bridge and down steps to H&C platforms 15 & 16?

That's correct. *Links to the planning drawings have been posted in previous
threads over the last few years but you may have missed them. *There will be
no paid side access between the H&C and National Rail platforms.

IMHO the Bridge could usefully stretch all the way to Platform one
giving access to all mainline platforms.

The CP5 enhancement plans for PAD include a further development of the west
end footbridges, although detail is a bit sketchy.

It is an awful long walk from Praed Street to the Canal Side. I am
not even sure of the way. If one wants to travel clockwise on the
Circle the District and Circle Line platforms are not real helpful.
One can only reach Edgware Road without changing trains.
