Whilst I tend to agree for most the train is an attractive option but the train did have overcrowding issues for a long time, not sure if it’s better now as I can’t say I’ve used that train line in a good while. So a bus option might not be the waste of time some on here think it is.

There’s also cost to consider too, so whilst I’m sure many going for a ‘bottomless brunch’ might opt for the quicker option (train) someone travelling alone doing some shopping at Eldon Square might opt for the cheaper
