The impersonal season tickets suggested by other posters seem like a
good solution, but it's a shame they're priced at a premium. Travelcard season tickets in London have just changed so that one doesn't need a photocard. If you live close to the zone 6 boundary, could this be a solution, maybe combined with a cheap single to the boundary? Or are there any coach operators to London that sell season tickets without requiring a photocard? Dominic |

The fact that long distance commuters consider the alternatives unpalatable does not negate the fact that they made a choice not to move closer to work, get a job closer to home or work in the first place. Indeed. I have no problem with people making that choice, but having them then complain about others not being 'environmentally friendly' is a joke. Mark |

In this day and age? You're joking! Don't forget, husband often works in one place, wife in another, then there are issues such as children's schooling, negative equity, etc. Plus when you get to 50+ you hang on to your job for all you're worth, as you can't get another.... and so it goes. IBM stands for "I've Been Moved", don't forget. Anyway, define "Long-Distance"? Some people really do think a journey of 50 miles or more is worth it - I wouldn't, but..... -- "Mrs Redboots" http://www.amsmyth.demon.co.uk/ Website updated 2 January 2005 |

Have you eaver heard of the term "logical fallacy"? Because you appear to be trying for some sort of record in uttering them. Why is it a logical fallacy to say that my husband finds taking the train to work both faster and less stressy than driving? I don't see that it is a truism when one is speaking from personal (or at any rate, spousal) experience. -- "Mrs Redboots" http://www.amsmyth.demon.co.uk/ Website updated 2 January 2005 |

In article , Mrs Redboots says...
Why is it a logical fallacy to say that my husband finds taking the train to work both faster and less stressy than driving? He doesn't find it less stressful. What he does do however is to conveniently forget to tell you about: The daily fight to get a seat The fact he has a daily broadsheet delivered so he can bury his head in it to save having to talk to other people on the train. The daily crush that is the platform experience. The stress of wondering if your train is actually going to be running and then if it is, if it'll arrive on time. -- Conor An imperfect plan executed violently is far superior to a perfect plan. -- George Patton |
