Have you actually commuted long distance > 70 Miles each way?

I worked out in the UK it costs (after allowing for tax) £10k pa to commute the 70 miles to central London - and thats not counting the costs of the extra hour and a half out of your day.

Or you could live somewhere like Newark in Nottinghamshire where the train is an hour and ten minutes into Kings Cross and it'll cost you £6,000 a year.

Plus house prices/rents are cheaper too.

I'm so glad I live basically on the East Coast mainline, it's the only decent line in the entire country.
