Travel to work for me would be approx £9 a day.

You need to check here http://www.wymetro.com/TicketsAndPasses as even the most expensive quarterly metrocard is just over £7 per day.

I currently work in Harrogate and I don't believe that wymetro cover the line, I believe it is Northern rail, who I have just checked, offer a monthly season ticket of around £135

Also check to see if the rail company offer discounts if you travel outside their busy peak times, our local one offers a discount if you use the train prior to 7am. oh and check to see if breaking your journey by paying for a ticket to one point and then another from that point to your finishing station you'd be amazed how many journeys are cheaper that way.

In that case check out the numberr 36 bus route - much more frequent than the train and leather bucket seats.

Good grief and they say that the SE (The Garden of England) is affluent!!

The rates for our area are in red!!!

It is very confusing:

The average price of a house in the Leeds area is £164,713, yet the average price in my area is £222,601

That just doesn't make any sense

And in my area, it's much less! What you get for two bed, is almost what our area gives for 4 bed.
