Tirains run fairly often (about every hour on an ordinary Weds mid-afternoon when I was there). You can get to Rennes in one direction and Lamballe (? - check ?) in the other. From Rennes you can get to lots of other places, and I used this method to quickly move from inland to coastal Brittany. Using the machine, it is easy to buy a through ticket and provided you stay on TER trains, you can bring a bike without reservation (but subject to space/train manager's say so on busy times). I didn't see a lot of commerces in the vicinity of the station, but likely one could find stuff if one was in need -- looks like centre-ville is about 1 K level ride away.
