Good point; I'm not sure how long before 0650 the line was closed
north of Paddington.

Don't forget they also have a depot at London Road south of E&C so
there shouldn't have been a shortage of trains even if it was cut off
north of paddington.

It actually joins the running lines just north of Lambeth North, and
effectively provides a reversing point as well.
