Theyx may be near empty by the time they approach Maidenhead, but
stopping at Paddington is definitely too early. Look at Ealing
Broadway for example. The Circle Line is heavily loaded here as is the
District. Catching the FGW Turbo and changing at Paddington is by far
the fastest way into London and the Turbos are often cramed to
capacity here too.
