To refresh your memory of GH's post - " the reality is that

Thank you, but there was no need at all to take the trouble. Charing Cross
is a phrase used to represent Central London, and the post effectively meant
that *SE England* is only 15% built-up. In such conditions (as I'm sure you
know) a 60 mile commute inside an hour is not impossible. Indeed, *I*
frequently do a 67 mile journey (not in London of course, but certainly in
SE England) in about 70 minutes - during the morning and evening peaks, too.

But apparently, that's not possible...
