TfL are carrying out extensive work on the Hammersmith & City
platforms at Paddington Station. The work is sad on two counts.
Firstly NR and TfL have again failed to move the H&C service back to
platforms 14 and 15. Along with a single lead NR track in from Subway
Junction, to platform 16, this would allow same direction cross-
platform interchange.

Moreover, TfL are replacing the canopy over platforms 15 and 16. The
new canopy is not in the Standard Great Western style. Thus the
overall uniform appearance of Paddington Station is being marred.
