    Objectively speaking, though, I suppose you;re better off.
    Season ticket costs roughly per week the cost of 4 day returns. So if you work 4 days you're just not making anything. I'd probably get anyway in this case, just to avoid the hassle of having to buy a ticket every day.

    I time my arrival at the station to the minute! So that'd be minimum 2/3 minutes per day wasted. And its mega hassle when some of the ticket machines are broke!

    To be honest, one day WFH a week is still 3 hours. Is one day where I can be home for a doctor/dentist appt, be able to drop daughter at childminder so wife can do an extra shift if she wants etc.
