Thanks RB: I can manage to get instruments onto and off trains I think, but hobbling onto and off buses with foot in aircast boot, a crutch and 2 instruments, and carrying them even 100 yards may be a problem.

If there's no-one available for a lift (I certainly don't want anyone to go out of their way...just if anyone's passing) then I'll treat myself to a cab. It'll only be the once! Next time I'll drive or be driven.
