For those that didn't read NickB's link the Circle line will be extended out to Hammersmith and will run as follows:

Hammersmith to Edgware Road and then clockwise around the Circle to Edgware Road again. Trains will then reverse back around the Circle and out to Hammersmith.

The impact to some folks here that use the HEX is that NO trains from the current Circle and District platform at Paddington will travel past Edgware Road on the eastbound/clockwise rail. You will need to change at Edgware Road and catch a Circle or Hammersmith train at Edgware Road heading East.

You will be able to catch a Circle or Hammersmith line train from the current Hammersmith platforms at the rear of Paddington station which will run on through as described above. The frequency of trains through this route will be increased as a result of this change to the services.

These changes come into effect on December 13 this year.
