Getting HS2 into Central London is always going to be a problem given our original Victorian infrastructure with no room for expansion. Given that HS2 is going through Old Oak Common, which is to be a major interchange with Crossrail, wouldn't Paddington be a better alternative? The electrification of the lines out of Paddington will no doubt be accompanied by a complete redesign and rationalisation of the station and approach lines which could then accommodate HS2.
