[QUOTE="Brock Landers, post: 693678, member: 5184"] I've been sans car for the past fortnight and have quite enjoyed it. The absolute deliciousness of reading a paper on the way into work is a feeling to behold and for me, I have to walk a total of approx. 900m from door to door. Admittedly I have to change trains twice, but his is no hardship and usually a ten minute wait maximum. In terms of cost, travelling by train is lightly cheaper and takes the same amount of time, albeit with a 90mph motorway drive for 17 miles in the car. Add to this the deathrace 2000 vibe of travelling through Liverpool at rush hour and I may just carry on commuting, even when my car is sorted. Plus my carbon footprint has been reduced (if I was ever bothered by it in the first place) The only thing that bothers me at the moment is the inability to smoke on public transport, but even this could be seen as a plus. I have never seen myself as a commuter, but I have been more impressed than I ever thought I would be with public transport. For reference, I drive a Jaguar X-Type, so it's not as if the train is more luxurious either... Don't ask me about shopping in Sainsburys last Saturday though, that would paint a completely different picture..... [/QUOTE]
