How are you calculating this? The bus station and the railway station are not within half a mile of each other (in fact, the 2A uses stand 22 at the bus station which is the other side in the direction of the railway station!).

Google Earth. I measured the distance as the crow flies as about 800 yards, plus a bit for corners = "up to about half a mile" in accordance with the rules. However if you are convinced it's too far carry on from the previous one and I will delete my post.
