Paddington [EL]
Really, at last, the Elizabeth Line is open, at least according to this sign by the Hammersmith and City Line at Paddington on Opening Day, Tuesday, 24th May 2022. What the sign does not say is that this only includes the new stretch beneath London from Paddington east to Abbey Wood. Through trains from Shenfield to Heathrow and Reading will have to wait another year. Also, there is no indication that the walk from here to the Elizabeth Line is unfortunately lengthy, through the taxi rank almost the entire length of the eastern side of Paddington and then an escalator and the entire width of the station concourse.
