2800 quid a year to sit on a late, slow, smelly train?

Get a car.

Which would cost nearly as much to park in Central London, plus
congestion charge, plus being less environmentally-friendly. Plus the
stress of driving there and back.... yuck! Okay, trains can be stressy,
but far less so than driving - and even slow trains can be a *lot*
quicker. Husband takes 45 minutes door-to-door if he uses the train; by
car it is a minimum of 1.5 hours, plus all the stress of driving.....
