Yeah because driving 16 hours straight is stupid because you would just take the train and be driven 16 hours straight.
Car centric infrastructure should have never been introduced.
While public transport is undoubtedly fantastic, let's not pretend that it's a great option in many European countries. I'd love to take the train in the UK, but thanks to the Tories it would cost me more to take the train (when it works) than it would to drive and park.
The key is public ownership of public transport.
The UK just decided they're not in Europe. The rest of Europe has better PT than the UK. In the UK it was cheaper to hire a van and drive to Exeter than to catch the train, absolutely ridiculous.
First mistake, going to Exeter. /jk
Honestly the cost of rail travel in South Devon is eye watering. Went for a few days trip and had to rapidly rethink my budget after the first train
