    Well I tried but it cost more to travel by train and even then it's the most complicated system to understand, when it comes to purchasing a ticket.

    Global warming is a myth, did no one tell you?
    Subs? Recent photos?

        I've purchased the London fair because it's £140 cheaper than a return to Peterborough, I'll pass through the station anyway.

        I give up. It's litter wonder I'm the only person in the coach.

          Now, in the civilised world a ticket from A to B is valid whatever the route, whether it is bus, train, metro or whatever combination, and if you decide to get off early you can.

          They've also made it so you don't need a ticket for your bicycle any longer.

            IMO unlikely: there's a way out at P'boro which doesn't go through the ticket hall and past the ticket inspectors. Are the ticket inspectors there on the exits anyway? Not that often so I hear. What if you say you have no money, how can they force you to pay?

              That's what you get when you live in a country with so few people there's only one train company.

                There are several bus and train companies but only one metro company.

                We even have Arriva over here, and they apparently work, more or less.
