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.

I was picking the one that gives the fastest journey time (approx 45
mins - see tfl planner) and doesn't use sub-surface lines which always
seem to be the first ones to get reduced/disrupted service outside of
the weekday peaks.
