Impressed, eh ?

You too can experience the delights of paying nearly a pound a hour to park in one of the fetid dumps that Swindon Council laughingly call car 'parks'.

In an area devoid of greenery, you are greeted to Swindon with a choice of parking in a range of decaying multi-story car parks adorned with signs informing you what percentage of the local population of beggers are drug addicts.

Proabably best to go home again.

To get Swindon, from london paddington there´s frecuently trains to Swindon. The journey takes about 1 hour. Prices depends the time you travel, if you travel in the morning is more expensive than in midday.

Swindon has a Park and Ride system, there are two of these operating, one at Swindon North, and one at Swindon South.

Swindon North is accessed via Cricklade Road, Swindon Spouth is at Wroughton.

The car parks are free, you just pay for the bus fare.

All the busses will carry one wheelchair, and also baby buggies etc..

car parks operated Monday - Saturday 0645 - 1915 pm.

The buses are painted bright orange and green, you cannot miss seeing them.
