I've moved to a nice small town a few years ago (pic related)
I grew up in a shithole car dependent mess of a village, and had to rely on a crap bus service to get anywhere
Comparing similarly sized towns (where i grew up and where I live now)
Transport in the new place is amazing, trains every 15 mins to 2 major cities and 5 towns, most of them are worth visiting and I work in one of the connected towns. Loads of buses in all directions. Old place had one bus line, and when it was late it would bypass the village to make up time. Didnt match up to the train to the big city, so would have to wait for 20mins if I wanted to get to uni.
New place has a cycle path going to both the east and the west coast of the country, going through both big cities and loads of small towns. Old place had fuck all - hilly roads that were 60mph speed limit, cycling out of there was a deathwish idea.
How can one place get so much infra, and another get fuck all in the same country?
Doesnt help that the new place is an ancient royal burgh, and the old place is a mining town where the mine closed over 50 years ago
