ApologiesIf you cannot see the picture link to the rail and bus timetable on the left, I'm afraid this is the fault of a recent update for Internet Explorer. The link still works if you use Firefox Browser, which can be downloaded free at http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/ie.html I have copied the train and bus timetables to the bottom of this page until Microsoft get round to fixing this bug.
