For Chelmsford and Crawley the main attraction is cheaper houses and
the frequent rail service to London.

Since all three places were the homes of colleagues commuting to where I
worked in Westminster, that's the main point.

The main problem with these commuter towns is that most people don't live
within walking distance of the one main station and so its not just a rail
trip


I don't think you're right there. Most of Chelmsford is within a thirty
minute walk of the station. From a quick look at a map, Crawley is
similar - and it has three stations
