Paddington station is now on the new Elizabeth line, opened in May 2022, it is highly accessible with multiple lifts and escalators.
The entrance is close to the entrance of the small, compact main line station run by Network Rail.
Trains run every five minutes towards East London (either Shenfield or Abbey Wood), both via Whitechapel, or towards Heathrow.
I revisited Paddington station in April 2024. This was a weekend travel towards Earls Court, which was the closest accessible station for wheelchair users. We chose to make the change at Paddington, onto the District line, which was not the best of ideas.
The lifts in Paddington district station were tiny, and barely useable. Most importantly, the District Paddington station was only accessible towards Edgware road, and there were stairs to go in the opposite direction.
There is a fix, you travel to Edgware road, and stay on the train and it then travels back in the opposite direction towards Earl Court. A simple sign in the station, by TFL, would be helpful. Please.
I revisited Paddington station on 17th March 2023.
We had been travelling on the circle line to Paddington, to make a connection with the Elizabeth line.
The exit from the circle line was fine, I think with lifts.
It was a very long walk from the Circle lane station to the Elizabeth line.
We Were very fortunate to be offered a lift on one of the Accessible buggies. Thank you. It was highly appreciated.
These buggies were running all over the station, particularly the main line station.
Thank you again. We were lucky to be spotted. There was an mobility point at which he was travelling towards. We travelled down a private ramp into the station and through the entirety of the station to the lifts for the Elizabeth line. Brilliant.
