Oh well, my Councillors manage to get to meetings on them. Well, more the X4 I suppose. The X6 is similarly hopeless, partly because the money which could be spent on decent bus connections for those kind of journeys is being spent making it cheaper for commuters to dart around the country on trains.

Step one, abolish national rail enquiries and route everyone to the integrated journey planner, so that for instance my friends in Oxford realise it is an hour and a bit and six quid return to come and visit me, not over two hours and thirty quid return.
