The Home Counties

May 8, 2009


The English Home Counties are the Commuting areas of Northamptonshire, Cambridgeshire, Suffolk, Essex, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, Surrey, Dorset, Wiltshire, Berkshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Middlesex.

Commuting is by Underground, bus, car, train, bicycle and walking. There is no Underground in the south east.

Commuting is one of the success stories of England with millions travelling in to London.

Commuting is best on brand new trains long distance from places like Weymouth and Cambridge.

Delays and crowding are very unpopular with the Commuter. Living further away means getting a seat on the train. Some rush hour travellers make a dash to get a seat especially at King’s Cross.
