Pyle is my closest station and it normally takes me 20 minutes to walk to the station.
The foregoing replies demonstrate how useless local bus transport is anywhere except in a big urban area.
No, it demonstrates your area is poorly served by buses.
I live in a village with 6-7 buses an hour to my local small town from where I can pick up a train service with 4-6 trains an hour in each direction.
The buses are very punctual and reasonably priced.
Please enlighten us as I find it difficult to understand how a rural bus service justifies a bus every 10 minutes! I bet you are near a main road between a city and a town, otherwise it just doesn't add up I am afraid.:roll:
Lucky you, by the way.
Google Maps suggests I am actually closer to Hyde North than Stalyvegas hock:
Tiverton Parkway is my closest station, but it's still 5 miles away from the station is supposed to serve.
Usually go by car, bus is also an option (£2.10 single!), walking is also the only option sometimes though.
At uni: Swaythling, 5-minute walk, or Southampton Airport (Parkway), that plus a 10-minute bus journey/30-minute walk.
At home: Andover, car/taxi being the only sensible options from where I live (with the possible exception of a bike).
You might at this point see why in some ways I prefer spending time at uni
