If you are attending a course or event that finishes on Sunday or late at night please consider arranging your travel home in advance.
Contact your course/event tutor to see if they can arrange a lift share for you.
If you need to get a bus or a train please consider booking a taxi to the bus/train station in advance. Rural bus services are scant in the evenings and on Sunday, and getting a taxi at short notice in this area can be difficult.
