Imagine my shock to find that return from Blackburn to the Hare & Hounds in Clayton is now a fiver!!! :(

As mentioned earlier....robbing gets.

I agree about bus fairs being expensive I got a return from Ossy town hall to Accy Vic it was £3.60, it would have cost me that in a taxi.

I'm at Edge Hill and before I was driving I got the train, bus takes too long!

But the train is ridiculously expensive and with waiting times involved not that much quicker. :)
