A nice article that covers 2 people who decided to see what it was like to "kick the car habit (http://www.bbc.co.uk/devon/content/articles/2006/05/05/transport_blog_feature.shtml)" for 3 days.
from the article:
It's been great catching the train, and nice to get a bit of exercise on the bike. The car is more convenient and in wet weather I probably won't cycle. But I will definitely want to take the train more often.
Lots of choice of train times travelling back from Plymouth to Totnes and I had a pleasant journey. The drive home in rush hour is usually awful. Trying to get out of Plymouth along the Exeter Road and embankment is very slow. So I was very happy to be on the train.
I love articles like this. :)
