Default Two commutes - suggestions for where to live ?

How to resolve this ??

My girlfriend and I currently live in Woking.

She works in Bracknell (30 minute drive). If I were to get a job in
Chelmsford - where is a good place to live for a reasonable commute for
both of us ?


Watford.
Gerrards Cross.
Beaconsfield.


I'd have said with jobs in those two places, having somewhere roughly half
way between by car (i.e. near-ish the M25) would not be a particularly great
solution at all. Leaving by 7am at the latest will be a must to get to
either Bracknell or Chelmsford and guarantee a clear run, otherwise there's
the potential of endless problems on the roads.

Of course it all depends on how flexible working hours are, but I'd either
be within a hassle-free drive of one and reasonable train ride of the other,
or midway by train for both.
