Bonus question: to get from Newbury Park to Swindon, should i do:

- Central Line to Liverpool Street, H&C/Circle to Paddington, train to Swindon
- Central Line to Oxford Circus, Bakerloo to Paddington, train to Swindon

That would be my best guess.

- Central Line to Lancaster Gate, walk to Paddington, train to Swindon
- Central Line to Ealing Broadway, train(s) to Swindon

Another possibility is Central Line to Mile End then H&C to Paddington.
Mile End is a cross-platform interchange.

True. Better than changing at Liverpool Street, perhaps, although it means
i'd have to wait for an H&C instead of being able to catch a Circle, and
one of Beck's Laws (see utl passim) says that this guarantees an endless
procession of District trains!
