Hmm it says it's by Ant Smith - if that's the same one who held the full network record with Geoff, I'd have thought he'd know there's 270 stations

Anthony Snith from 'team Geoff' (as someone once called it) is most certainly aware that there are 270 stations.

You would, but as the two Paddingtons are sort of interconnected (unlike Hammersmith and Edgware Road which are across a road) and are not the same as all you need to do is walk through the mainline station, even if for the FNC they are classed as two!

Ah who knows, possibly not his choice.

They're great photos, I really enjoyed that

You don't even need to go through the mainline station - you can get into the Bakerloo Line station from the taxi rank on the north side of the main station.

2 sets of barriers so 2 stations. And it's a longer run than the 2 Hammersmiths or the 2 Edgwares.

Distance between barriers Paddington's 335m
Edgware's 199
Hammersmith's 135m

I know, but there are no roads between the two Paddingtons.

I wasn't denying that they're two separate stations - just wondering why anyone would run through Paddington main line station (involving two extra sets of ticket barriers!) when they don't need to!
