All the "do gooders" tell you to ditch the car and go on public transport. Anyone here use it regular?
My experience is rail fares are shockingly high if you need a train to London less than 3 months in advance . I have used Virgin trains twice in since October and one was 30mins late and the other cancelled and then had to find a seat in unreserved even though we had pre booked on the cancelled train. I also went to Leeds and that was an hour late getting in .Reading a few peoples reviews on facebook the train I would catch in a morning to work is always late or very nearly always late and the price of bus fares for a return makes the car a more viable option.
If I was in London the tube is fast and services every 3 or 4 mins with disruption m,ainly on sundays.
