    I was on the tram in Manchester, thumbs up for that. I see Newcastle, Cardiff and Birmingham also have a metro or plans for building them.

      Depends on the cyclist! Maybe we can get Bojo & SirKeir to have a race?

        So does Reading, took one of my Daughters there for an interview last week, it was on the day of a train strike so we thought "Park & Ride" save the planet etc. Despite the web showing it fully operating etc. Having followed some seriously bad signage occasionally pointing to park & ride facilities, around TVP we found a hidden entrance and an overgrown car park. It seems it closed years ago.

        We did the math before and Park & Ride costs were close to a train return cost and added an hour to the journey, in the end I parked close to the city centre and still paid less.

        Park & Ride for cash poor or time poor doesn't seem to make sense.
