it's not difficult to get to the H&C platforms if you follow the signs. I do accept it's a long walk.
I lived in London long enough to know my way around Paddington.
It's a long walk and, with luggage, it involves waiting for two sets of lifts. And even without luggage, getting down on to the H&C platforms is always fun at peak time when there's a stampede of Reading commuters coming the other way up the stairs.
And this myth about not much going on at Paddington, or it being out in the sticks, is nonsense. It's been in business since 1838
Huh?
There's bugger all actually at Paddington. But of course it's busy, it's the Great Western's terminal station.
It's not a criticism- until very recently all there was at Kings Cross and St Pancras was hookers- just an observation that the terminal station is rarely the ultimate destination.
