- chrisseaton 5y agoThe weather? What's that got to do with trains?
- 867-5309 5y agonot living in the station?
- chrisseaton 5y agoUnless you live somewhere with a garage that you can get to without going outside, then I don't really see the difference with a car that you also have to walk to first. But even if not, are you made of sugar or something? Why can't you handle any weather? (Short of disabled people, but that's not what this discussion is about.)
- 867-5309 5y agothe distance can be hundreds of times the journey! a criterion for property selection is nearest public transport even if you aren't made of sugar, you're not going to have much fun being drenched on public transport
- chrisseaton 5y ago> the distance can be hundreds of times the journey! You’d walk 100km to take a 1km train journey? How far is it even possible to live in London from a train station or bus stop?
- 867-5309 5y agodistance to car from house = 6 metres, distance to nearest train = 600 metres
- chrisseaton 5y agoDon’t get why one was a ‘distance’ and the other a ‘journey’? But either way - wow a whole 600m! What a hardship just to have clean air and a future for your children!
- 867-5309 5y agomaybe because it's the same thing in this context they are hypothetical numbers, the point being walking in bad weather is a strong argument for not using public transport I don't care what other people do as much as you seem to, save the planet and all that, woo. if you want clean air move to a village on the coast. if you want to be kind to your children, raise them there
- whywhywhywhy 5y agoDon't go to london then if you're scared of that. No one is social distancing in London.
