If like me you use trains approx. once a decade, then they are a novelty rather than a cause of annoyance.
As for buses - Im entitled to travel on them free now, but I still avoid them like the plague.
Used one in Romford nearly a year ago and was reminded why I hadnt been on one in over 40 years.
If the good Lord had intended us to use Buses, he wouldnt have invented Driving Licences.

Our company now provides zero parking and favours city centre locations, so driving not an option

Change jobs.

Change jobs. 

That's definitely a solution 

We could use a decent IT boffin

The UK rail service really is crap. And expensive

[Mr Skrunts]

I check train fares from King’s Cross to Doncaster quite often, and they can range anywhere from £19 to £132+, depending on the time of day and other factors—so I know exactly what you mean about how expensive they can be.

It’s the same with flight comparison sites for journeys to and from Heathrow or Manchester to various destinations; prices can vary drastically.

Saw prices yesterday for one-way flight from Turkey to LHR £28 (Economy). Checked Skyscanner to compare, etc., and slightly higher.

Today’s same details, the flight is now £89.

But from what I learn, the algorithms are working against us as usual to favor the market’s prices (rip-off Britain as usual).
