I agree the signs to Paddington underground at present should point people firmly to the H&C platforms unless they are going to High St etc. I think it does, but it's still confusing. So, towards the footbridge on all platforms? Wasn't last time I went there but it is a little time ago. -- Colin Rosenstiel |

So, towards the footbridge on all platforms? I don't know about that, but once you're at the Praed Street end of the platforms you are routed back past platform 12 to the H&C. I'll check the platforms in a few days. Maybe the Circle Line should only run from Liverpool Street to Edgware Road via the south side, with Circles become H&Cs at Liverpool Street so the same timetable would operate but with a different presentation. |

I'll check the platforms in a few days. That was my complaint. Most long distance standard class passengers pass the footbridge on their way to the Lawn. Maybe the Circle Line should only run from Liverpool Street to Edgware Road via the south side, with Circles become H&Cs at Liverpool Street so the same timetable would operate but with a different presentation. If it means trains through Edgware Road between Paddington and King's Cross that would be good. -- Colin Rosenstiel |

I'll check the platforms in a few days. I checked this morning... the totems on the platforms point you to the footbridge if you want the "Circle line via Kings Cross", and to the lawn if you want the "Circle line via Victoria". But there are only two totems per island platform, so it's nowhere near as informative as the instant-interchange-info-in-your-face that you get on a tube platform. And there is no sign for the "Circle line via Ladbroke Grove", although there is a sign for the Hammersmith & City line. |
