You missed out x2 if there are two of them.
If that's right that's pretty brutal. We quite liked the idea of Radlett as it's much nicer than where we are now but the ~£26p/d for transport vs £12p/d at the moment adds up, especially when we'll have nursery fees in the next year.

I haven't checked but I presume a season ticket from that far north is going to be the thick end of 5 large a year . That's 10 grand of gross earnings to pay the 5 grand net.
I could probably do that commute for 3-5 years but you presumably have another 25/30 years of working left and I don't think I would fancy doing that journey for that sort of time.
Kids wear you out and the last thing you will want to be doing when your baby has been up all night is getting up at stupid o'clock and fannying about with cars bikes and trains just to get to work.
