Don't forget the cost of paying employees to stand at bus/train stops and walk to the bus stop etc. A simple meeting in Manchester would take all day instead of just a few hours.

It does not look very professional when you have to ask them to make the meeting later as your bus does not arrive in time for the 9am meeting.
Then there is turning up soaking wet because its a 20 minute walk from the train station to the meeting and you can't get a taxi because its not public transport enough
We have work going on in the park at the moment. One of the Council Officers is responsible for this work and other works around Hyndburn. Do you seriously think he should spend all day sat on buses to get from one site to another?
