Crowded Tube journeys

2:50

Yeah, I agree, but I'm lucky because I get on the Tube at the first stop,

2:50

so I always get a seat,

2:52

but then by the time you get on, it is usually really packed.

2:57

And the closer you get into central London, the more packed it is.

3:01

You're squashed up against strangers.

3:04

It's not always fun.

3:05

I hate it. What about buses?

3:07

Do you like buses?

3:09

Buses are OK.

3:11

They, in London again,

3:13

they are quite frequent

3:16

and that's convenient.

3:18

Not always. I mean, they are – they're frequent,

3:21

but they're more unreliable than trains, aren't they?

3:24

There always seems to be roadworks near where I live,

3:28

and when there are roadworks, there are traffic lights and

3:31

then there are delays on the buses.

3:33

So, in the city, public transport can be great.

3:39

But what about when we go outside of the city?

3:42

What do you use to go to other parts of the UK?

3:48

If it's quite far,

3:49

so if I'm going really far north, maybe to Scotland or to,

3:54

I don't know, Manchester or a northern city,

3:57

it's probably better to get the train because it's faster

4:01

and I really like trains. You can relax.

4:04

It's a relaxing experience.

4:06

Some of my best travel experiences have been on long-distance trains.

4:12

Yeah?

4:13

Yeah.
