This is London. If anything, the PT service has improved in the last 30
years. Most especially the service from the local overground railway
station. Far more trains stop there now.

If you are out in the sticks with poor PT, chances are land is cheap
enough to provide off street parking.


I must admit that I do miss London's frequent services until
late at night - I rarely used the night buses but they were
there if I needed them. I do have an evening service now that
I'm out in the sticks - 4 miles from Lincoln - but it is only
once an hour after about 6pm with the last bus home at 2300.



you're lucky

round 'ere the last bus home is now often no later than 21:00, and it's far
less rural than Lincolnshire
