Metro - 24 minutes to Haymarket + 15 minutes walk approx = 39 minutes. So not much different, and the bus saves you walking. |

(30 Jun 2015, 3:54 pm)Davie wrote I've made my mind up, I'm getting the 1 unless a dual door renown or 5274 is allocated Not much chance of a dual door renown, but I've saw a couple of red Omnicities on Sunday. Might be lucky and get a B9TL too. I don't think the PVR of the 1 is much lower on Sundays than it is during the week, which is why you see spares on there on Sundays. |
