How far away is it form Swindon town centre? I'm looking to go to the races on the 5th December for my birthday if there are any on, then thinking on going into Swindon after.
Is there a bus running or will taxis be cheap?
Cheers.

Will probably cost you about 7 odd quid in a cab I'd guess.

No chance, it costs me £8 to Shaw from town. Minimum £10, more likely £12. |

15 minutes from there to town centre in a car. A few quid each if you get a cab.

Admittedly I only get cabs late night at the weekend but they're always between £7 and £9, dependent on the actual trip, black cab vs hire car and how much the driver tries to take the piss. From town, the Abbey Stadium is a third further than Shaw so its going to be a few quid more. |

It's not that much further than Shaw, half a mile maybe. Unless you go down the A419.
Just ask the cabbie to go down Cricklade Road if he asks. He/She should go that way anyway.

I live about a mile from the stadium and taxis into town from here generally cost around £12-13ish.

Between £8 and £9 with united from abbey stadium to commercial road,if they try to charge you anymore ask to speak to management.

You can't live far from me then Sippo!
Thinking back - the last few times I've got a taxi into town we've had a 7 seater which might knock the price up a bit - hence £12-13 being a bit higher than it would usually be (I'm assuming the bigger taxis charge higher fares?).
