Veloviewer Tile Bagging?

What are views on use of public transport, either returning from an out route or out to then do a loop?

In the context of a pandemic or in general?

Loads of my tiles have been bagged by getting trains to/from places and then doing rides, especially as loads of my tiles have come from riding Audaxes and I haven't ridden to/from every one of those. Can't see anything wrong with it. I had limited time to get out riding on days when MiniGB was at school so I maximised that time by getting a train 20/30 miles away and doing a ride there.

Almost all of my UK rides join up though, the only two that are completely out on their own are the Mersey Roads 24h TT (got within the same tile on the Snowdon and Coast 400) and the Midlander Super Grimpeur 300.

During a pandemic I'd personally consider it non-essential travel and so I wouldn't be using public transport to get to/from the start of rides if those rides were purely for tile bagging purposes.
