  • Talk to me?
    In laws live near grimsby.
    Trains are a dilemma. Humberside is east. Not North. that's different. that'll help for a start.

    Manchester - Sheffield - Grimsby on the TPE is a nightmare for regularity.
    Getting to London from Grimsby requires changing at sunny Doncaster.

    let me know what you want to know.

  • Hi - thanks for the response.

    Yeah, i can see that train connections aren't the best. it looks to be an area where people mainly drive to wherever they need to go.

    i guess at this point i'm just interested in where would be an ok place to live, where i could get to Humberside ports area within say 30 mins to get to work, but still not have a default 3 hours plus drive as the only sensible way to get back to London. so either an ok town or a nice part of the countryside.

    Likely we would have a flat in London if this move ends up going ahead as there is no way that my OH would agree to completely moving out of London, which I kind of agree with.

  • Keelby would be my choice.

    Immingham where I left at 18 is not somewhere I would return to.

  • I'd have thought there must be plenty of places accessible with only one change from the east coast mainline. Looked at Barnetby for example, as little as 2 1/2 hrs to Kings X.
