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


Trains for Swindon don't stop at Ealing Broadway.


Oh well. I could get one to Reading and change. Probably not a fast way to
get anywhere, though, especially given that it involves taking the Central
line out there.


The Central to EB is actually barely slower at all than getting off at
Lancaster Gate and getting FGW there. It's the stopper from EB to
Reading that's the deal-breaker.
