David Ross, a 32-year-old accountant, lives with his wife and two children in Leeming, a small country village near York in the north of England. But his job is in the centre of London, 400 miles (640 km) away in the south.
Every day David leaves home at five o’clock in the morning, drives three miles to his local railway station and catches the 5.30 train to York. At York he takes the 6.12 InterCity Express to King’s Cross in London. From there he goes by underground to Liverpool Street Station and then walks to his office.
The whole journey takes three hours and fifty minutes. He gets home at nine o’clock in the evening. What a life!
Why does he do it? David smiles: «Because I like my job in London but I like living in the north and I like travelling by train!»
