Title: Dream - road rail integration Post by: grahame on October 10, 2019, 14:38:22 I thought must be dreaming when I thought of a system where road to rail integration routinely worked. Then I realised that I'm in Dublin.

Places like Frome and Melksham and Warminster all seem to have a disconnect between the modes of transport ... walks at Bristol Temple Meads between modes remain significant in length and perhaps confusing to the newcomer. I look with some admiration at Heuston and Connelly stations and the closeness of the buses, and other network change points such as (pictured) Red Cow. P.S. Very colourful place - Red Cow, Blue Bell, Black Horse, Golden Bridge ... all on the red line.

Seemed well used when I was there.
