On Monday (August 1) I had a morning appointment with some lawyers near Fleet St.

When I used to go to Gough Square, off Fleet Street, I used to walk to Blackfriars and catch the Circle Line to Paddington. Was usually less crowded.

When I said "near Fleet Street", what I actually meant was "Gough Square".

Thanks for clarifying that, Worcester_Passenger. The Old Bailey is "near Fleet Street". Roll Eyes

Just saying. Shocked

William Huskisson MP^▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

Just in case anyone is unaware, a tube strike is planned on the H&C and Circle starting from 21:00 tonight until end of play tomorrow. May make the Bakerloo at Paddington a wee bit busier than normal.

Actually 2130-2130 Friday, wind down aroubd 2100.

There will be just a few Circke Line trains tomorrow, nothing on H&C

The H&C is also closed for Engineering Hammersmith - Edgeware Road this weekend as they test new signalling

Bakerloo, District and Circle (via Bayswater)

Looks like staff shortage effect some of the - err - smaller (!? Undecided

) tube stations. Paddington seems a surprising one to close!

Maybe they redeploy staff from Paddington to other stations to keep them open? Paddington has more options - as noted - H&C or Circle to Baker Street or Edgware Road and change is doable, if not particularly convenient.

Shortage on Shift change, I reckon
