I suppose that nowadays the red-faced farmers, whose invariable topic (so a friendly guard who understood Welsh told me) was sheep and their prices, find their own cars or the buses more convenient than a Western Region main line for their short-distance peregrinations to market.

Short-distance rail travel in this district has been a doubtful proposition ever since buses were introduced.

The PM hit the headlines again for taking short-distance air travel rather than rail.
