[quote][i]Originally posted by Kyle T[/i] I'm a week or so into a contract that requires me either in the centre of London or over Kent way. First week I drove down to Kent on Monday morning (3am start :0 ) and drove back Friday night. Dartford crossing was a bit of a twat to be honest and got held up at Cambridge a little bit on the A1. Then I tried the train into Kings Cross, tube to the London Office and then took an overground train out to the town in Kent for the Kent days. This was great because I could get up at 5am instead of 3am, and I could sleep on the train. I was home for 19:20 on Friday vs 21:00 when I drove. I've arranged with the client to potentially do Mondays and Fridays in London each week, with tues/wed/thurs at the Kent office. This means I can train into Kings Cross and home again at the peak hours. Problem is, the train into Kings Cross is very expensive (about 5x cost of driving) so it seems a bit of a waste. I'm thinking of a hybrid option of driving down to Stanmore(?) and leaving my car there all week and then paying ~£5 to take the tube all the way into London to my office. I can then take the overground trains out to Kent when needed. Questions, is driving down to Stanmore on a Monday morning going to be a nightmare? I'd be coming down the M1 or A1, depending on closures etc. Are there any better stations that are more accessible to me by car? Looking at the tube map, Epping might not be a bad shout as that's on the actual line I want to be on - so no changes, can wriggle my way onto a seat and then settle in! [/quote]
