The 70's/80's estates are at typically 30-45 minutes walk, and show up

Many years ago I worked in farringdon with someone who lived in a village
a 30 min drive from lincoln station. Her commute could apparently take over 3
hours each way on a bad day because IIRC she had to change at nottingham and
if she missed the connection..... God knows how she stuck it , she must have
been on a good salary but had absolutely no life outside work as far as I could
tell.
