I wish commute by train would work in London. I had to commute for years out of London (living in Zone 1) and most of the time I didn't had a place to sit. Trains are also crazy loud in this country, and not really reliable and quite expensive.

They charge pricing here that could get me a year country-wide travel first class card in Switzerland.

Regarding London trains: it very much depends what line you go on and how far down that line you are as to whether you get a seat. The reliability and expense problems are very real though :(
I was taking the train from Paddington to Hays and Staines. Tube wise Central line is horrible. One reason to work from home lol
By "train" I was thinking more the overground and national rail services rather than starting your journey from zone 1 of the underground. But I guess, technically, the underground is a "train" too
