Moving and Groving?


Okay then people how do you get around?

Car? Bike? Train? Bus? Tram? Shanks Pony?

I normaly use the car to get about, but always walk to and from work.
But have decided I will use the ar less and today used Public Transport the bus...... ...and it wasn't too bad.
So how do you get around. I am thinking of getting another bike for short journeys and leaving the car at home.

I walk or drive. There are quite a lot of buses trundling through, so i could get to the coast etc if I wanted. No trains here - victim of Beeching

Re: Moving and Groving?


I take the car to work, Graham takes his mountain bike which is why I am fat and he is fit
Seriously though, I thought about public transport but my reasoning for using the car is a)public transport is expensive up here and b) I am the only one at work with a car and if an animal needs to get to a vets quickly...............

If it's not too far, I'll walk ......... I'll get the bus into town as long as I haven't got too much to carry home - if I'm buying loads of things, OH will take me in the car as I don't drive.

Walk in the neighborhood; public transportation (bus, subway) otherwise, all my life.

Re: Moving and Groving?


I walk into the town centre, living only 5-10 minutes away from it. I drive to work because I have to drop 2 children off at school/nursery on the way and the office is right out in the country and not served by any public transport.

I try to get the super market run done at the same time, or sometimes if I have the puschair I will use the town centre M&S or Sainsbury's.

If I go into London we will either drive (if we have to take the baby + pushchair), or if it's just us or us with Dominik then it's train/underground.

I haven't taken the bus in a long, long time apart from the occaisonal hop from Liverpool St Station to Shoreditch when I worked in London several years back.

Re: Moving and Groving?


Because of my mobility I'm afraid I have to drive where ever I go. Fran I would love to go by horseback
Ceilidh's school is 3 1/2 miles away so no option there as I can walk small distances.
I'm ashamed to say I dont even know what buses run from town to where I live and there's a bus stop just outside my door The only thing about getting the bus is they are so jerky. I could really do some damage to my back.
