> People on the train are people who can afford the choice of a luxury of a home in a village or the countryside instead of London

And spend 3 hours a day on a hellish commute 5 days a week?

Thats not luxury, that's torture.

I do know folls on lower end salaries that commute far, its not rare.

The "Stockbroker Belt" is a thing, and Sir Humphrey used to commute in from Haslemere (if only fictionally, but I'm sure he was based on real examples).
