I hope so. It seems pretty organized, and I like the color coding; TFL's website it really nice because it has all the lines/stations up for repair during the time I'll be there. But I've only seen one subway/tube system, and that was in San Francisco 16 years ago (I was only 9!). On top of that, I haven't been underground (like below street level) in a few years. Down here in Louisiana we don't have bedrock really, in fact we don't have any rocks at all! It's just mud under us; if you dig 5 ft down the hole begins to fill with water. So simply walking down a flight of stairs from the street is... well weird for me! The thing that I'm worried about is finding the right platform once I'm in a tube station, and I am particularly not fond of Paddington station because I know it's pretty spread out with some platforms on the north side and some on the south side. But it does have a Yo Sushi, so at least I can stop for refreshment if I get lost
I too had this issue on more than one occasion in London, take it from someone that doesn't live in london, the staff that work on London underground are helpful & seem to know where every platform is. I duuno about paddington though, cos I found it really easy to navigate that station....it creeped me out a little that they were busy re-building it after a bomb had exploded, but hey ho!
Same thing though, just ask
the platform people know where EVERYTHING is
I should've rang you!!!
I'm going to do the install the night I get into London. My boyfriend and I are staying in the Anker Hostel and will be in the obvious touristy places.
