I am not sure it is always the best advice to go to platforms 15 &
16. *If you are elderly or have heavy luggage you will have to go up
and down the stairs. *If you go to the lawn entrance and take the
circle line terminating at Edgware Road then you will have a cross
platform change.

That's true, if you can identify that the Edgware Road train arriving at
Paddington is a Circle and not a District. *Do both the platform
indicators and the front of the train tell you that it's a Circle line
train?

Yes circle line have Circle Line to Edgware Road on the front.
Platform describer has same. District line just have Edgware Road on
the front of the train and Platform describer has District Line to
Edgware Road.

How many days has the service actually been attempted since it was
introduced, what with snow, signals, scaffolding and other problems?
