Paddington Underground station

I don't have much knowledge of Praed Street Junction. But I assumed terminating trains from the West Circle would not interfere with H&C/Cirlce trains to/from Hammersmith.

In fact there will be twice as many services heading off down to Hammersmith as now, (6 tph each H&C and extended Circle) and the westbound trains all have to cross the trains 6 tph each District and terminating Circle, coming from the western circle. I reckon they've actually doubled the conflicting moves over Praed St junction.

If only the original builders had four tracked west of Edgware Rd, allowing the terminators to use the southern pair of tracks, everything would be set up nicely for this new service.

I suppose it is the oldest stretch of underground railway in the world, so we can't ask for too much!
