Plan of Action


Public transport and I have a love hate relationship. More often than not it goes wrong for me, resulting in missed trains & buses. For this reason I was not looking forward to getting to London, especially as I decided to break up my journey by stopping at home on my way which is about halfway between Cardiff and London.

My Plan was:
  • Get the train from Cardiff to Swindon on Sunday 12th February.
  • Get picked up from Swindon train station by Mum and drive home to Faringdon.
  • Get up at 6:30am on 13th February and get the 66 bus from Faringdon to Oxford at 8:00am.
  • Get the train from Oxford to London Paddington at 9:30am.
  • Arrive at Paddington at about 10:30am.
  • Get the tube to Oxford Circus.
  • Get the tube from Oxford Circus to Liverpool Street Station.
  • Get the 149 bus to Stoke Newington, where Katie lives.
I had only ever got the London underground on my own once before and it was not a fun experience. Luckily the directions Katie sent me were easy enough to follow and I made it to her apartment fine.
