I need to get from Swindon to there on a thursday morning have to be there between 10 and 10:30am.... I know i have to get on the Jubilee line but thats about it....
So can anyone tell me what train station i need and roughly how long it will take so i know what time to leave and stuff cos i have no idea!

Speak to Gazza's Fat Mate.

He works in London and knows the underground.

From memory it take 30-40 minutes, hold on.

Swindon - Paddington (http://www.thetrainline.com) is about 1hr10. If you get on a train that stops in didcot it's cheaper to get a return from swindon to didcot, then a return + travelcard (tube) from didcot to Paddington than it is getting a direct ticket even though it's the same train.

North Greenwich 35 mins (http://journeyplanner.tfl.gov.uk)- bakerloo towards elephant and castle, CHANGE at baker street. Take Jubilee towards West ham, get off at  North Greenwich.


When you get to North Greenwich, the dome is right at the exit of the tube stop.

North Greenwich is the tube station you need so it will be this

Paddinton to Waterloo (bakerloo line)

Waterloo to North Greenwich (Jubilee line)

Give yourself about 1 1/4 to get across London mate

Total journey time about 2 1/2 hours

Cheers fred you're a star... So i kinda need to be at Paddigton for about 9am?

And this is prob a real stupid question...But im assuming its huge so im not gonna get lost or anything?

Anyway here are a couple of useful sites for future ref:

The o2 is actually pretty cool now. The tube getting there is as shit as ever.

I guessed it would be, but it was the only time slot i could get around mine n Gianluca's birthday! ( it's what he asked for )
Was very supprised at the amount of people that wanted to see Tutankhamun's treasure!  I didnt even know who he was  :shock:

world of warning all jounrey planners assume you are in a wheel chair and therefore are always way to long!!!! if you get paddington at 9am you will be at the 02 by half past unless of course your a complete muppet or like bushey you insist on get a cab everywhere!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fred knows best - FACT!

Shit sticks my railcard doesnt work that early in the morning either! Gonna cost me a bomb. Im gonna have to take a packed lunch!

What you doing there?

You can use a railcard at any time on that route - I do all the time.

Big Tutenkahmoun (sp) exhibition mate

Supposed to be awesome

so what the fook is that?

Egyptian shit mate.

The Ancient Egyptians are pretty interesting. I'm ashamed at some of you.

how the fuck can you not know who tutenkhamun is?

Maybe because I only listened in Law, Maths, Business Studies and Economics at School/College.

is that why you're skint?

Yes Sonic indeed.  In all honesty unless I respect someone, I really dont listen at all (teachers anyway) My History teacher was a bell end (in my opinion) so I simply didnt listen as he bore me.  This is why I am a tosser

To be fair Ash, I gave up History before GCSE's at school. It's one of those subjects which is more about learning stuff which is interesting and you find relevant to your outlook on life. Which makes any sort of curriculum now a bit pointless.

Maybe you should look at your self and your outlook on life if you want a happier 2008? Does your life have to be revolved around your business and going out on the lash on football days? Maybe you should get some interests. Find some hobby which fascinates you but is completely useless.

you'd like the egyptians. they was rich and liked cats.

They built vast cat heads underground that were seen by noone

They did lot's of ace stuff; Enslave the Jews, invent paper (sort of), build structures so big that they were the tallest buildings in the world until quite recently, enslave the Jews. Loads of stuff.

and awesome hyrogliphics.

Egyptians worshipped cats because they thought they were funny (so Chris Morris tells me)

Ash i dont think our kinda age group were taught about him at school cos i didnt know anything either.
But it is kinda interesting i guess... Gianluca is obssessed though! Wait until your nephew starts teaching you stuff!

i wasn't taught about him either but he's like famous, y'know. plus those gross pictures of his body have been in the news constantly for the last month:

http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/44217000/jpg/_44217717_tut203bap.jpg

Have they? I knew about him because I've got a grasp of general knowledge and am proud of the British discoveries. Well apart from slavery anyway. and we didn't invent that. Colonisation worked out for lots of people. Go us.

wow this is an ace thread becuse I am going to the O2 arena Friday night to see Take That - - but I did look into the eygption thing as Im going on Holiday to Eypyt on holiday in January

Yay! Can you let me know how easy it really is to get to and prices of food n stuff  :)

yeah will do - when are you going? Im staying up in London the night on Friday but not sure If I will have time to do Take that and the exhibition

we booked our train tickets to Paddington ages ago and got them for £8 each way - I was most impressed with this bargain!

Im going a week Thursday... but stupid here forgot i couldnt use my rail card so early in the morning so its gonna cost me about £70 for the train alone when its usually £25!
Hmph its a good job i love him really!

anyone who doesn't know about the egypt people are thick as pig shit!!!!!! fucking hell sometimes I wonder, how can't you know. Sorry I just can't get my head around the fact that people don't know. angry know even more so given that bushey earns more money than i do!

Why does general knowledge come into it.  It depends on what you were brought up, what influences were around you etc.

It has nothing to do with growing up etc they were one of the biggest civilastion ever in the history oif the world how can't you know about it? have you grown up with your eyes and ears shut or are you just ingnoart?

do you know who the inka's were?

No, but I know who the Inca are.

Yes its one of the 7 wonders of the world.  I just dont have any interest in ceratin things in the world.

How you can call anyone ignorant with your views on blacks, muslims and other cultures is beyond me.

Believe me mate my eyes havent been shut in life, I have probably seen more situations than most people care to in their lives.  Saying that you do love that history channel which probably explains why you've turned into an old man young  :D

the spelling is open to question. depends which way you inturprt their writing :D

Bushey, I thought I bit easily but christ  :soapy tit wank:

1. well done
2. you views are simalara if not even more right wing
3. I am not old i just get a bit paranoid in crowded places. I'll out sniff, drink, inject and swallow you any day just let me know the time :D  :D
4. cunt  :D

I have never injected and never will you dirty fucker.  Thats just plain wrong.  My views are no where near more right wing, no where near, im not even a member of BNP can you say that?

yes i can I have moderated my views in the last few years. I even brought the gurdian the other day. admittley I threw it away arfter reading the first few pages but still

i'd love to go to macchu pichu.

You can use the railcard, it just cost 70 odd quid. Without, it will be £125 or something like that.

Still if it's a week thursday you can get advanced singles and get there and back for less than half that price. I thought you meant this thursday though you tart  :mrgreen:

Miss angry - The Exhibition looks great - They have done some cool stuff inside the O2 I was impressed. If I had more time In London I would have been tempted to have a look

The music venue was great (Take That that were immense!) but I have been put off watching a gig there again due to the queues to get out - 20 thousand screaming women trying to squdge into one tiny tube station.
