It's obviously not convenient for everyone - but no single measure is.
I'd also cut down on your walking time by taking a bycicle - you could probably save 20 minutes by that alone. My wife also takes a bike ride to the train station (and she packs quite a few bags on the bike).
Nonetheless - yes, there are situations in which cars are still way better.

I can, however, do the entire trip by bike (which I often do in summer), using a different route. That takes only slightly longer than the trip via bus.
- Symbiote 4y agoIn the Netherlands and Denmark, it's not unusal to cycle to a bus stop or railway station, lock the bike there, take the bus/train, and walk at the other end. Or, to own a second bicycle and leave it at the other end. In London small, folding bicycles serve the same purpose, but they're much more expensive.
