Coach:
Depart 5:15 to arrive 6:30
Last bus back: 4:00 (>1 hour before leaving Cardiff)
Cost: 6.25

Train:
Depart 5:40 to arrive 6:55
(station within spitting distance of the CS department here)
Last train back: 10:30
Cost: 5.90

Fair enough, I am lucky enough to be able to see the Cardiff venue from
the window in the PC labs here :)

Being a student, I do appreciate all the trouble pepople have with public
transport.  Not only do I find myself having to walk the almost 3 miles to
my room if in the Department until 3am, while back in Swansea I found
myself sometimes starting work at 6am, and sometimes working until 1am
(though never both at the same time)

[Ironically, I've found the main lines in Swansea run later (12:30) than
in Cardiff (11:30).]

Since some people in the group have been dealing with hopping back and
forth for a couple of years, arguing over who gets where and how gets us
about as far as friendly fire.
