yeah, this section does read a bit strange. my interpretation of the page 369 text is:
[so he says] Alpon travelled to Paddington station, by whatever means, [bus, subway or taxi], to collect his suitcase that he had left there. he then set out to get to Southend. the quickest way would have been to take the subway from Paddington on the Hammersmith line, directly to Liverpool Street mainline station, thence a train to Southend Victoria, stopping at Stratford, to leave the train and swallow a large brandy in a nearby pub.
hope this helps
