However, if you will live in the sticks, then you have to accept the consequences!Plus, driving 90miles a day can't be good on the wallet! *quietly doesn't mention the environmental impact either*
1. I don't just travel to Leeds; I have a client facing job and travel all over the place to see them as well as going to Leeds. Lots of my clients are in Yorkshire but I also range from Llandundo, to the Cotwolds, Norwich, London, Berkhamstead, Scotland in several places, Northumberland, Lancashire etc etc. 113,500 car miles in the past 3 or so years.
2. I can get a return train ticket to Leeds for £6 with a Dales Railcard. Not many trains though and at unhelpful times. I can also drive to Skipton and catch the train
3. None of that, especially the going to see clients millarky, is doable from home
4. When it snows I catch the train from Settle to Leeds - ironically I'm one of the few people that actually made it in today
