From this morning ... https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p06yrkvp

from 1 hour 16 minutes (looking for where they're going)

from 1 hour 46 minutes - having got there, an interview with one of the locals (up to 1 hour 55 minutes)

Yes, there is a transport connection.

Very good. I  was surprised how long it took to get it.  I got it straight away and wish I'd listened to it. May have shortened your cold wait a bit  Cool

Thanks Roger ... rather confirms that we still have a marketing job to do.  But then striking it out probably made it more memorable.

It wasn't quiet while waiting ... multiple groups gathering for the 10:49 RRB (Rail Replacement Bus), others coming to pick up tickets.  One group who had worked the clue out and wanted to see how these things worked, and someone being dropped off to pick up a car from the station car park which looked like it had been abandoned there when the snows came!
