Let's assume you are fourteen years old and in possession of limited funds (and even more limited time to make your escape), so neither flight nor car rental is an option.
Given that the nearest village has a train station and that you can buy a ticket from there to Aberstywyth (albeit involving changes at Blackfriars, Euston and Birmingham New Street), and also given that the trains probably come more frequently and go more quickly than buses would (though I'd be glad to be corrected if I'm wrong about this) wouldn't you be more likely to choose the train at short notice than anything else?
That was my logic in writing the first draft, anyway, but if I'm wrong and my young hero would be more likely to hop on a bus instead, it would certainly help to know.
