Crossrail work in the Paddington Area

The crossrail work in the area of Paddington railway station is preventing people from using Eastbourne terrace and has resulted in the closer of the the taxi rank beside platform 1 and the move of it to above platform 12. The closer of Eastbourne Terrace is to facilitate the excavation of the crossrail box in which the Paddington Crossrail station will be built. This means that people wanting to exit the station towards Sussex gardens need to use the exit at the end of platform 8 beside the entrance to the Main London Underground booking office where you can walk along the road.
