1  Journey by Journey / London to Kennet Valley / Re: Feasibility of commuting from Pewsey to London on: May 10, 2011, 20:52:49
Hi There;

It's been a while since any activity on this post, but I thought I would give it a go.

I live in london presently but I am considering moving to Pewsey (well, a village nearby) with my family. We have found a place and currently weighing up pros and cons.

I will continue to work in London, and will need to commute 3 times a week.

I am interested to learn James whether you ended up moving to Pewsey and how the commute has been for you (and general, non-train related experience I would find interesting too. Smiley )

My fear regarding the train is it will be standing room only, I dont mind doing this from a station like Reading which is 25 mins away, but not for over an hour. I am also planning to 'get some work done' on the train, so getting a seat regularly is essential really for us to make this move.

Also, is the car park generally full very early on and is there an alternative in the area (that might be free?).

I am thinking of staying in Pewsey 1 night and then try out the commute to see what it is like, posting on here is a less expensive alternatuive. Cheesy

thanks in avance

Jon
