Several years ago I was on a Paddington bound EL service that departed P1 at T2/3 and it stopped at the Down Main platform at Hayes, much to the astonishment of the passengers waiting on P4. It crossed to the Up Main at Hayes East.

There are due to be canopies on platforms 2, 3 and 4 at Ealing Broadway. See plans on EBC planning. Unless they are no longer being done. The old waiting room on 2/3 is due to be demolished. What is ridiculous is the massive canopy outside the station which serves no purpose.

South Greenford is north east of the centre of Greenford. North Ealing on the Piccadilly line is nowhere near North Ealing, it is more East Ealing. A better name would be Hanger Hill. I could have said West Acton, but there is already a Central Line station of that name just along the road.

Another route now available from Paddington District Line station is to exit the station onto Prayed Street, turn left, cross the road and walk down the new ramp on Eastbourne Terrace; you now enter the station in the shopping area.

I took a trip up to Pad yesterday to look at the works around the station, something I did quite regularly before lockdown. Leaving the station via the arrivals ramp, the large wall to the left has gone, as part of the Paddington square development. London Street is now closed at the junction...

There are 4 hotels at T4, accessed from the walkway off the eastern end of departures. The lift from the hex station level opens at the entrance to the walkway

2 tph could go as far as T2/3, then go onto the T4 branch and reverse without going all the way to T4. With American Airlines and Quatar now using T5, T5 must be now getting busier. How long will it before Hex returns to 4 tph. Was

If you take the lift or escalator from platform 12 to the taxi rank, turn left and take the exit onto SWR.

The bin-liner trains from Brentford use the route, also aggregate trains to the Park Royal terminal.

I have seen several trains transit between OOC and Westbourne Park in normal running on OTT. It's just treated as a siding.

As well as a major London hospital. I take it that you haven't been out onto the canal towpath between Paddington Basin and Little Venice lately. I think you will be surprised in what is there.

Just for information. There are currently 5 hotels at T4. The Yotel on the mezzanine level at the eastern end of the terminal. The Hilton, Crown Plaza, Holiday Inn and Premier Inn; all accessed via the walkway from the departure level at Zone G.

Worse than I thought. I was on 14:13 from Pad and noticed that there were 3 360s at OOC as we passed.

Isn't the 6tph to T5 dependent on there being 4tph to T4? As there are now no trains going to T4, can the number of tph to T5 be raised? As a LHR worker, currently non-worker, I will miss the comfortable cl360s.

There are a vast number of ETCS balises now installed on all lines between Paddington and Airport Junction. Maybe all are now installed.
