wouldn't using your car be actually cheaper in your case? I done that journey every day a few years ago when i was based up there. you're even driving against the traffic (although parking in chelmsford can be a bh)



things now reversed and i'm based in stratford
its 60 miles each way plus dartford toll fees plus parking plus M25 aggro 2 days out of 5 at least......a week is a full tank on my Lexus IS350 which is £90 odd + on the miles racked on the car............
