Paddington is benefiting from significant investment over the next few years. There will be improved access within the station to accommodate the extra people attracted by the new Heathrow Express Link. Access outside the station is being streamlined, too. Existing facilities will be modernised, with wider platforms and a new footbridge for easier access to the Suburban and Hammersmith & City lines. Train services are provided by Chiltern Railways, Virgin CrossCountry, First Great Western Trains, Thames Trains, London Underground and Heathrow Express.
