I grant that for Bishop it's more of a hit being about and hour and a half. Saying that, I live in South Tyneside and it can take me half an hour to get to the town from here and its only a few miles away! You can please everyone and whichever route they took, they were always going to pee someone off.
After all, Martijn has talked about this being a testing the water exercise to an extent so who knows what the future may bring.

I was talking more about getting to any coast, not necessarily connecting to the X11. From basically anywhere along the X11 route, there is an alternative to go to the coast.
