Public transport is not something I use very often, the odd bus into town every now and again maybe. That's reasonable enough I guess.

Planning to take the young lads to the National Railway Museum in York from Manchester when visiting the in laws. After a 5 hour drive to Manchester I didn't really fancy another hour and a bit to York, hey, why not take the train I thought?

One less car on the road, be a good citizen, the lads will probably love the adventure and surely it's dead easy in York, it's RAILWAY museum after all. Plus I can save a bit on petrol and parking too. Win all around.

Except the train is £60 fking quid which is a damm sight more than I'd spend on petrol and parking.

How are we expected to see public transport as a more viable alternative to driving when it's more bloody expensive?! What's the point?
