And that doesn't include the bus trip from the station to Jolimont.
People, especially business people, want to travel from city centre to
city centre, not to an outlying transfer point where they have to change
to another service for where they actually want to go to. Overall the
train trip goes down for the count against the bus by more than an hour.
