1. On a train, you can buy a drink of hot coffee (well, on some of them). On a bus, you're not allowed to even bring a drink of hot coffee  Can you add other similar opposites? (You know what I means!) |

On a bus (well some of them) you can sit upstairs. You can't do that on any UK▸ train.
On a train (most of them), you can relieve yourself if you've had too much coffee. On a bus you'll have to hold in.

On (some) buses between Frome and Bath you can use free WiFi, on Trains (between the same two points) you can't.

A train shows a commitment to providing sustainable high-quality public transport where you live in the medium to long term.
A bus doesn't.

I've managed to get FGW▸ 's WiFi in numerous HSTs▸ over the past two weeks. In both 1st and Standard Class.
As for Frome to Bath, there are no direct HST services. The best you can hope for, for the chance of WiFi, is a 10 minute hop to Westbury at 0605, 1555 and 2015 on weekdays. In t'other direction you only have the 1955.

So have I - both ways to/from Cheltenham on Wednesday last week and one way to Paddington a couple of weeks ago (but not coming back). How many HSTs are fitted so far? |

On some trains you can buy alcohol from the buffet or trolley. It is illegal to drink it on a London bus / tube /possibly overground train.

Also illegal to consume alcohol, or carry on visible unopened alcohol, on ScotRail services between 9pm and 10am, except the Caledonian Sleeper.
And yes, alcohol is banned on all TfL» services, including Overground.

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.
"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.
