I can't say I liked David Soul, but I do like National Express since I discovered how cheaply they can ferry DS back and forth for the odd weekend at home, without me having to drive for over an hour to fetch him. If you sign up for their offers, some weekends you can travel pretty much anywhere for £5, because they are busiest during the week. So I am threatening DS with turning up in Cambridge to take him out to lunch.
I had to add the lunch bit, because at first when I mentioned it, he looked slightly pained. I don't think students have parents during term-time, they are all orphans and entirely self-sufficient.
