Transport links in Hull

Hull has a somewhat-undeserved reputation for being geographically isolated. One of the UK's largest cities (Leeds) can be reached from there by car in slightly over an hour via the A63 / M62 link, and is a fairly easy commute. Further afield, London is as little as two and a half hours away via direct train to Kings Cross Station - meaning that Hull is actually a fairly central location to do business from.
