An hour or two ago the Crossrail Bill became the Crossrail Act, which
means as soon as the funding agreement is signed (due in September)
the thing might actually see the light of day.

Point of order - the deep level platforms at Paddington will have
daylight along their whole length, via a massive slot in the ground
above.

It would be good if a similar arrangement could be made for the
surface-level suburban platforms...

See latest liaR (I think - can't find any reference online but read it
in the last few days) - NR has agreed to rebuild the surface-level
suburban shed to the same style as the other spans, having failed to
get permission to knock it down Liverpool Street style...

pretty crummy. ...

How will this work? I thought that the Crossrail platforms were to be
on the south side of Paddington under the old cab road?

Yes they are. They're going to build a long thin two storey high
"spine of light" (by which they mean skylight) between the cab road
and Eastbourne Terrace, which will be directly above the island
platform.
