I've realised that in the last 10 years I have only taken public transport once - a train to London so that I could get drunk! I am excluding the London to Paris train thingy as I doubt the public really use this.

wifey just told me we have a bus once a week to get to Bridgnorth - it stops just over a mile from our house - we can catch it a 10am and it returns at 2pm - apparently if we have a lot of shopping the driver will take you right to your house on the way home, which is nice, but basically public transport doesn't exist where we live |

we have a post bus at work, the post man collects the mail and passengers and as long as they are not in a hurry they eventually get to where they want to go to, after posty has visited every post box on route. no regrets!

I live in Houston where the car is king .... the local metro bus service is well not a good idea to get onboard and doesnt go anywhere I need to go anyway.... downtown has a light rail system but no idea where it goes and is 20 miles from home just to get on it.

Used to commute into London on't train last time I worked there a couple of years ago.... comfy enough. Shuttle between north and south terminals at Gatwick - does that count?

Hadn't been on a train for well over 20 years until 2 weeks ago when I went to collect my TDV8. So first class on the Virgin pendolino or whatever its called, to Brum. Served with a cooked breakfast and numerous coffees on route inclusive of the cost of the ticket. My things have improved since the last time I travelled by train.

Well, if you can't count Cross Channel Ferries, Spanish Trains or the Barcelona Metro I'm struggling to remember.
