| | Paddington Station on the London Tube Map |
 | | Paddington station was one of the great rail portals into London, receiving the trains that ran on Isambard Kingdom Brunel's Great Western Railway (GWR), from Cardiff and other towns to the west of London. |
 | | Praed Street Station is geographically on the south-west diagonal from Edgware Road Station, but Beck has shifted it to be due south; in a later version, he move Praed Street Station in the opposite direction, making it due east - and hence coincident with Paddington mainline station. |
 | | Since all three Underground stations are within a few minutes walk, and all within a single station complex, the later simplification of amalgamating them all into a single concept - namely, "Paddington Station" - would prove to be quite helpful. |
