    I hear you can even get your PC fixed locally for just £15 (only on Saturdays though).

          Hanwell. Mainline to Paddington, or Piccadilly line. It's where my sister has lived for years and seems ok for London.

              What do you want and how much do you want to spend?

              Reading's 20 minutes from Paddington.

              Woking < 30 from Waterloo.

                Both trains are full to the brim in rush hour so only worth moving to those places if you can fit in an overhead luggage rack.

                  First class from Reading to London is usually pretty empty. And you get a muffin too.

                    You'll spend a fortune every year doing that.

                    If you bought a house in London instead with all that train fare money paying an almost free mortgage (backed by tax payers and savers), over time it will go up 10x and you can retire to anywhere in the world a billionaire. Probably.

                      Cattle class is like £400 for a monthly season ticket to paddington. First class will be about £800. If you stay in Reading and you need to travel to Paddington daily, your life sucks. Period. Might as well take the slow train to Paddington which takes 55 minutes as opposed to the 25 mins on HST.
