The recent reviews at Tripadvisor are not good, so its not just you. https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Hotel_Review-g186428-d1144561-Reviews-Celtic_Bay_Guest_House-Aberystwyth_Ceredigion_Wales.html

I had a decade of commuting with a 10 minute walk to stops at either end. I tried it a few times, and it never appealed to me. There were no bus priority lanes, so it was slower than driving. The buses were crude, noisy and rattly, with poor reliability. Nowadays, it would be better with online...

The centre of Ljubjana has had a traffic free zone since 2007. https://web.archive.org/web/20171001031622/http://citiscope.org/story/2016/how-ljubljana-turned-itself-europes-green-capital says the population was 287k in 2016. Its now 293k so it seems to have been a success. The centre of...

I haven't tried booking anything, but when I do a search at www.booking.com with the checkbox to only show available rooms, it shows plenty of availability for less than €300

There are three main changes to the trains between Ely and Cambridge in the last decade: 1. The Great Northern trains now all have 8 cars, so you have a decent chance of a seat, or at least comfortable standing room. 2. Cambridge North station opened. I work a mile from Cambridge North. Its...

The problem with services that can be introduced rapidly, is that they can also be removed rapidly. If a new service is good for your commute, that is great if its a journey that you were already making. Would you change job, or move house so that you would be reliant on a new service?

I don't know. However, the step-free access was transformative for my in laws. It was stressful for them when they had to have assistance from the guard to use a ramp. Would they be in the right place? Would the guard remember that they needed help? With the 755s they could use any door, on...

Yes. My daughter's house was about 3/4 of a mile from the footbridge, to Crown Lakes Country Park, and a mile to where Broadway crosses the railway. Given sufficient concrete, you can build anything, anywhere. However, a lot of the land there is recovered from brick works. I don't think you...

My daughter used to live in Hampton. She didn't have a car, but the bus service was good enough. Pedestrian access to the Serpentine shopping centre with Tesco wasn't great. The problem for building a station South of Peterborough is that there is a lot of low density housing nearby. Ideally...

Are the shorter journeys from split ticketing? This will happen more on some routes than others, depending on the pricing.

A big part of the appeal of the Oxford Tube that it runs through the areas with dense housing. If you are in Headington, you have the choice of a coach that gets straight on to the A40, or a bus the grinds its way back through the congested city centre to get to the station.

In 1996, I got a job on the Oxford Science Park at the South of the city. My girlfriend had just moved to Stratford upon Avon, so I tried commuting from there by train and Brompton. I could get trains that would get me to work at 8am or 10am. I lasted a fortnight and bought a car. After a year...

I like the Contigo Byron. You can get them from Tesco and Asda. You can usually get them for about £10 if you are patient and wait for deals. For example, the blue & silver, black and red ones are £10.12 on Amazon. Postage is extra unless you have Amazon Prime or spend £35 or more...

Have you tried writing to your MP? You can send them a message from https://www.theyworkforyou.com/ They might not be able to get things to work any faster, but might get more information about why it is happening, and when it will improve

Families with young kids are most likely to move to a new housing estate. If you got the families from a new suburb to send their kids to primary schools a few miles away, lots will be driven there and it will cause traffic chaos.If there are too many primary schools, then its more likely that...
