In reply to Firestarter:
> I commuted Grantham to Kings Cross about 7 years ago. If I recall annual season ticket then was about £6000, and even getting one of the earliest trains sometimes struggled to get a seat (amazing how many reserved seats). Coming back - difficult to get a seat before Peterborough. Add to that the groups of really(and I mean REALLY) annoying work colleagues banging on relentlessly and loudly about anything and everything, I can quite honestly say I would rather stick pins in my eyes and repeatedly slam my old chap in a car door than go through that again. In fact we moved closer to London because of these very reasons.
thanks, sounds similar to my current commute re people talking loudly about bollocks!
re the seating, I think you can now book 4 week blocks of time for a seat, which should resolve that issue somewhat?
I currently live in a small town, so that sort of thing doesnt bother me really.
