Depends how you use it and what your commute is like.
I used to love the 45 minute train journey on one of my old commutes. Always got a seat, pretty much always with a table, nice and quiet, could get work done or read a book in peace. Non-stop journey and very reliable. (Cambridge to Kings Cross).
Other train journeys are an utter ball ache, like Guildford to London. No chance of a seat, and often so packed you may not even get on the first train.
If you have children then any long train commute time seems like a guilty escape no matter how shit the actual journey is.
Will be looking for 100% remote work or, at most, one day in an office in London somewhere (ideally somewhere I can run to/from, so 10km ish) when I finally start to search for a new job.
Greenbank-
I'm still waiting on my new role to be decided (which is looking likely delayed since head of dept is off now with baby) but on my JD I had "remote working". My expectation is I will not return to an office. I guess if your train commute is nice (are any, really?) then maybe but I'd still rather be wandering around in my pants working on bikes for an extra hour a day than sat on the train. I do miss my tube reading time though - that was the one novelty I got from PT.

Crazy people that commute by train into London.

No you don't, you have hours on a train every week. Hard fucking no.
