Actually, the line from Paddington to Liverpool Street is - the sub-surface lines (Circle, Hammersmith & City, Metropolitan, District) have this capability (the first three all have new trains, the District is slowly getting them), whereas the other, deep-level lines just don't have the airspace around the trains to make it work.
To be honest, though, there's only really a few weeks a year that it really needs it. This is one of them!

Yes as stated above the Circle/H&C line you'll take to Liverpool St is now air conditioned, with spacious new walk-through carriages.
If you're interested in transport history, you might also be intrigued to know that this section of the Tube is considered the original and oldest underground railway line in the world:

You only need to change the ticket if you want to travel on a different day, in which case you'd have to pay the £10 admin fee.
