Hi All
Due to my partner's working commitments it looks like we will be
moving from
London to the Stafford area
Has anyone experience of commuting from Stafford to EUS ? Needing
to arrive
into EUS about 0900 and leaving at 1700 ish, chances of getting
seats,
frequency of delays etc etc ?
Cheers

All the way from Stafford to London every day! Rather you than me!
Many years ago (mid/late 70s) I worked in a travel agency in Fleet
Street. Customer came in and I needed his address which he gave me as
somewhere near Coventry. When I asked if he was just in London for
the day he said "no" and explained that he had found that the season
fare from Coventry was less than somewhere like Brighton or Worthing.
He also pointed out that Coventry took no longer than Brighton and
plenty of people did that journey.
Much the same argument (timewise, don't know about the fares) can be
made for Stafford versus plenty of South Coast "commuter" towns where
nobody would bat an eyelid.
Can anyone find quickly (and quote here) the Stafford Euston
season ticket rates, please?
Nationalrail.co.uk says £741pm or £7,724pa.
