The times I've done it, have purely been because I was choosing to grice to/from work or whatever else. I had the choice of the car. I pity those who don't.

Yeah totally, unusable pretty much really and that's before adding on the bus takes longer, the time to interchange, the actual interchange itself, the car being nicer than a bus, the fact you have to purchase multiple tickets or expensive day tickets and so on.

Then people wonder why no-one uses public transport outside the urban areas...

Let's be honest though in an ideal world all the people would be shuttled to the train station in Chester Le Street and be in town in 15 minutes, but the trains don't exist and buses don't go to the train station. Welcome to Britain.
