Yes! The Oxford-Cambridge bus service takes on average a painful 4hrs - absolutely ridiculous considering how short the direct distance is between the two cities.

My new primer:
Taking a bit longer to reach clean power is no bad thing if it means doing it right. A rushed transition may hinder future grid development. That could increase environmental impacts, harm industrial competitiveness and raise energy bills.
