Moving around in Great Britain - transportation
Locals don’t move between cities by buses; they use trains instead. It will be much more comfortable, although the ticket price for trains is much higher.

However, the authorities took action, and now the railway network in the UK is one of the best in Europe. The cost of the ticket depends on the class of the train and the length of the way. It is worth noting that you can get even to the most remote villages. Between the regions of the kingdom and between coastal cities, one can travel by means of water transport. In particular, you can use ferries. Special boats, water taxis, yachts and a variety of sightseeing small ships cruise the Thames.
