Title: Paddington today 3.00pm large police presence Post by: amiddl on April 30, 2009, 23:18:35 Does anyone know what was happening at Paddington today which was swarming with police some who arrived under blue lights. There seems to be concentrating around platform 5 and the left luggage office on platform 11?
Just being nosy really. Caught the 15.18 from platform 10 which literally platform wasn't displayed until 15.10 which was fun. Anyone know ???

There seems to be concentrating around platform 5 and the left luggage office on platform 11? just out of interest do trains from exeter and plymouth stop at platform 5? i know police are on alert down here even at exeter central... even the taunton to cardiff had an officer on boardJust being nosy really.

Interestingly exercise going on at Plymouth as well http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/devon/8023826.stm this week so may just be exercise but certainly seemed interested in two distinct areas of Paddington yesterday.

(about 10-15mins)
