From the TFL web site - be warned if taking the Heathrow Express - you will have to get the Circle line which can involve two sets of stairs if you go westbound. PADDINGTON STATION: Bakerloo line trains will not stop at Paddington station from Saturday 2 April until mid-August. This is while we renew both escalators and carry out work to prepare for Crossrail. During this time, please use alternative Tube routes or nearby Edgware Road (Bakerloo line) station. The Bakerloo line platforms, the Bakerloo line ticket hall and the Bakerloo line exits onto Praed Street and the Network Rail concourse will be closed off. Customers can still access the Circle and District lines via the ticket halls from the Network Rail concourse and Praed Street. Access to the Hammersmith & City and Circle lines is unaffected.For more information on improvement work taking place at Paddington, visit www.tfl.gov.uk/Paddington-improvements
