where to live?

[cat23]

I have a job in ascot and my boyfriend has one in cambridge, he will drive to work i will take the train. Where is the best place to live?

There is no best place to live. One of you should get a new job.

Ascot is on the Waterloo - Reading line. A frequent but rather slow service.

Somewhere like Staines would give you an easy ride to work and your boyfriend easy access to the M25 but a horrendous drive, in peak hours anyway.

Somewhere (anywhere) on the northern outskirts of London would cut your bf''s journey down a lot but give you a horrendous cross-London train ride train-tube-train.

I've been trying to improve on Dzug's answer. However, experience should have taught me that this is pointless. (Dzug is AnswerBank's 'superstar'). I've come to the conclusion that he's right: One of you should get a new job (or a new partner!).

For what it's worth, my suggestion would be that you should consider somewhere at the eastern end of the Jubilee line. (i.e. Canning Town, West Ham or Stratford). Your boyfriend would have easy access to the M11 for the drive to Cambridge. You'd have a fast tube service to Waterloo, for the train to Ascot.
