Exactly... This will cost commuters £2.40 more than the equivalent return fare (£5.50) on the bus, where commuters have the option of travelling on service 10, service 74, or services X84/X85 (maximum of five buses per hour).
Let's not forget about the high backed seating, free Wi-Fi, and power sockets available on some of those buses too..!
I personally find that the walk from the rail station to the town centre also comes as an inconvenience, compared to the bus.
I rest my case.
