I had a similar commute - lived just outside London: Drive close to train station then walk - parking fare at station was a rip-off. An hour on the train. Half hour walk from station to work. At least once a month no trains due to a jumper on the line so not getting home til midnight

Couldn't move closer to London as too expensive, main source of jobs was London

Couple of years of that was too much so started looking around and ended up in Michigan with a 15 minute commute and an acre of property
