Rumour has it that there is a Top Gear race occuring on Saturday between Jeremy Clarkson and Tornado between London and Edinburgh.

Lets hope the A1 loco kicks his ass!

Is that good  :-?

We've thrown enough money at public tranport, it still doesn't work, way too expensive, and around these parts, slow.

I can't see me doing that run any quicker, be it in car, bus, train, bike.

The Chiltern line is slow by comparison, but thats down to the line, not the company. But its still for me, the best way to get to London.

In 2 years of commuting there has only ever been one big delay, and that was due to a fire at the London signal control, trains are always on time, if late, never by more than a few mins.

With that dumping of snow earlier this year, they ran a full service, with NO delays!

According to Google and National Rail, its no contest.

National rail lists journey time of 4 hours 31 mins on train, Google Maps says 7 hours 9 mins. (google does always over estimate a bit, but 3 hours!  :o)

If he does beat it, he will have to seriously put his foot down

Remember with public transport, you have to take into account getting from home to the place you start public transport, then from the end of that to your final destination.

Anyone here wanting to go into the city, its the wrong option - car is faster, more convenient, and cheaper (even with Livingstone's toilet paper tax)
