Bakerloo Line Closure at Paddington

Bakerloo line trains will not stop at Paddington station from Saturday 2 April until mid August. This will enable Transport for London (TfL) to carry out major escalator renewals and prepare the station for Crossrail services from 2018. The Bakerloo line platforms, the Bakerloo ticket hall and the Bakerloo exits onto Praed Street and to the Network Rail concourse will all be closed.

While Bakerloo line trains are not stopping at Paddington Tube station, customers can still access the Circle and District lines via the ticket halls from the Network Rail concourse and Praed Street. Access to the Circle and Hammersmith & City line ticket hall is also unaffected.

For central London, customers are advised to take:

• the Circle or Hammersmith & City lines to Baker Street for alternative Tube routes
• the District or Circle line to Notting Hill Gate and change for the Central line
• the District line to Earl’s Court and change for alternative Tube routes
• the Circle line via Bayswater
• a short signposted walk or use local buses from stop H on Praed Street to nearby Edgware Road for the Bakerloo line

For Bakerloo line stations north of Paddington, customers are advised to take a short signposted walk, or use local bus route 46, to Warwick Avenue station.

Customers can also change between the Bakerloo and Circle and Hammersmith & City lines at Baker Street, and between the Bakerloo and Circle and District lines at Edgware Road (which has an out of station interchange).

For the Heathrow Express and Heathrow Connect trains, which terminate at Paddington station, customers are advised to take the Circle, Hammersmith & City or District lines to or from Paddington Tube station for these services.
