Today I came across a multimodal journey planner. It can find and compare car and public transport routes for the same journey, which might be useful in future. It would be useful to get price comparisons too, but that is likely to be very difficult.

Good site - confrims exactly what I've always said - if I were to try and use public transport to get to work it would take me three times as long (with bus changes) as driving to work does, and there are absolutely *NO* buses available for the return trip to get me back from work in the evening! Basically, if I can't drive or get a lift I'm buggered.

It certainly came up with some very special routes for me to get to visit my family in Warrington by public transport. It just goes to show that I was incorrect in my assertions that I can't visit them for the weekend leaving after work on Friday. Because provided I change six times, and take 11h 46 minutes I can do!

I plotted a trip from London to Isham in Northamptonshire (the town from which my family takes its name). All very well and good, except on the map page, a rail link is shown straight as an arrow from Northampton directly into Cardiff Bay and continuing into the Atlantic.

Having never been to England or Wales, I cannot definitively say whether that rail line exists. Perhaps it is the beginning of a Trans-Atlantic rail tunnel (TART for short), and in future Brits will be invited to "Take a TART to America".
