Benefits of travelling by train
- Saves you time and money, and helps you reduce your carbon footprint
- You don't have to worry about traffic jams or speeding fines
- You can enjoy beautiful views out of the window instead of having to concentrate on the road
- You don't need to find a parking space or worry about parking tickets
Benefits of travelling by bus
- Many routes have dedicated bus lanes, so you can avoid sitting in traffic jams
- Stay until the shops close - not until your parking ticket runs out
- Meet up and go for a drink with your friends, and someone else will drive you home
Benefits of travelling by tram
- You can travel around the city centre, connecting you to even more shops
- Trams run on electricity - there will be no emissions from them
- They're accessible to everyone with low level boarding at every stop
