I for one had no idea Edgware Road on the Bakerloo line was considered a different station to Edgware Road on the Hammersmith/Circle/District lines. And I've been through it enough times (never on the Bakerloo though).

The two stations are completely separate, to interchange bettween the two you would have to leave the station and its a couple of minutes walk above ground. For me there is no question that there are two separate stations at Edgware Road, it is whether there are two separate stations at Paddington.

The two Underground stations at Paddington can be reached by walking along platform 8 (mainline station), so you technically don't have to leave the station complex as you do with Edgware Road.

Of course, any passengers for station east of Paddington towards Kings Cross now have to travel on the Hammersmith & City Line because all District and Circle Lines (Circle from the Kensington direction) terminate at Edgware Road, which I don't get at all.

In that case, I think I have won. I have to agree about Paddington, as we have been treating the other London Terminals with an Underground interchange as one station.
Edgware Road is much like Shepherds Bush used to be before the Met station was renamed, it is two stations that happen to share the same name.

We will start at Addlestone

Is it not Middlesex anymore? I didn't realise there had been boundary changes.

Indeed, I didn't notice 172's edit when my West Kensington appeared, but then I'm not certain it wasn't there. 172, what is your view on which of us got there first?
