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. By the 1950s, the Bishops Road and Praed Street Stations have been amalgamated with the existing Paddington Station, to form the single station-complex called Paddington. easyweb.easynet.co.uk /~ursa/peter/trains/padd.htm
