'The Way Ahead'

  
(In a bold pioneering venture, truly in the spirit of this second Elizabethan age, Hancock battles his way by road to the sea.)
'Come Bank Holiday and I'm off, I said to Beeching. It's goodbye to the sweat and grime of your rotten old office, I'm for the open road. (Well, I paid good money for this car, so I wanted people to see me in it.) "You go by road if you want to, Hancock lad," he says to me, "you'll find yourself in good company." Ah well - you can't be right all the time. These exhaust fumes taste lovely. Only thing that worries me is those chaps last year who never reached the coast at all. . .'
The straight facts:

Trains get you there fast and safely - while cars and coaches are still queueing.
You can choose train times to suit you, there and back. You don't have to leave early to beat the jams.
You save money too. British Railways sell real bargains in cut-price Day Trips and Mid-week Travel.
