Network Rail's investment will create a modern retail and dining hub for station users, better passenger and customer waiting facilities, including more seating.
Used by 62 million people a year, demand is expected to increase considerably following the arrival of Crossrail in 2018 as well as major developments in the surrounding Paddington area.
