Basildon in Essex, Thursday morning, by train (and cab from train to First Data) ?

Apparently it's 90 quid for a taxi from the airport to Basildon, but I have an hour and a half from landing to meetings so I can take the train...

What's the best station ? Which one has a Marks and Spencers ? (I need tea)

All help appreciated.

Public transport option looks like:

Docklands Light Railway - London City Airport -> Canning Town (3 stops)

Jubilee Line - Canning Town -> West Ham (1 stop)

Mainline Rail - West Ham -> Basildon (trains about every 20mins, journey about 30mins)

You could cut that down by getting a cab from the airport to West Ham perhaps? Maybe he could stop by at M&S on the way as well.

There is bound to be a Marks at Stratford - big shopping centre there and very close to City Airport

Sussed

Go from LCY to East Ham High street - there should be a bus run the couple of miles. Get to Marks and buy wonderous products made of pig and lard.

Get another bus or a cab to Barking station - again 2 or 3 miles - shouldn't be too expensive

Barking to Basildon is direct and takes about 25 minutes. Sorted.

Or... As there's a bloody great shopping centre directly next door to Basildon train station I can go from LCY to West Ham to Basildon, cab it to FD, do the day, pub lunch, fake out the afternoon, quick wank, leave at 4.30 go to Marks, grab some chips and back on the train to West Ham, LCY, Amsterdam and in the house by 11pm.

If I see a shirt I'll grab one, whilst asking my cab driver to give me a receipt for 84 quid when he's charged me a tenner so I can screw my expenses..

What shift are you on ?

<commodores>...on the nightshift</commodores>

Been trekking through the night getting my head around php which has been en eye opener. Amazing after 20 years in IT how I suddenly now only pick up on some fundamentals of programming. Still it's powerful stuff and given me some food for thought for a couple of projects...
