None of you train lovers are British. Our service is awful. Never punctual at all and the prices go up and up. I don't use them anymore.
@Jimmu I think you have the delight of using the Japanese rail system right now which was so amazing to me as a British person having the trains actually come...
I'd use a taxi. They take you exactly to where you want to go and apart from the driver in an unfortunate case you don't have to share it with any unsavoury folk. Plus the walk to the bus stop is just too much effort.
