I`m travelling on the tube for the first time soon,i have found tube times but can i find out in advance what platform my tube departs from as my eyesight is too bad to read signs,i only ask because i usually forget my glasses ?
Mikey - It's because the Circle line is now a loop, Hammersmith, Paddington, round the old Circle back to Paddington then on to terminate at Edgware Road.
Yes if you get on an eastbound Circle Line Train at Paddington underground station Platform 1 you will be on a train that left Paddington mainline station Platform 16 about fifty minutes earlier. That train will have traveled all the way round the Circle Line to terminate at Edgware Road. There it will reverse and go back the other way passing through Paddington twice and eventually terminating at Hammersmith.
