A big change to the below is the fact that can get tickets for #16 if book 1 month in advance….
that makes the average day cost same as coast i.e. £29
assessing the cost of 9 days in London per month…
- via coach only - 261
- via salisbury only - 387
£126 difference equates to an extra 3 or 4 days….
so hybrid approach.. whereby weekend travel by coach and week travel by train
or swap… concentration better at weekend so use that for productivity…
changeor throw in Kent caravan to extend days in London changbig
consequence is heavy dose of London.. try 2 days on, 1 day off, 2 days on then 3 days on, 1 day off, 2 days on total time out from bristol is: 11 days - too long.
try thirds: 10, 10, 10 no more than 2 days at each difficult to implement because London gets a double hit each time 2 days in kent need so family time
try 3 days bristol; 2 london; 2 kent; 2 london;
repeat
this totals
- 30% time bristol
- 44% time london
- 22% time kent
costs on this basis per month are:
- 35 bristol to london
- 30 london
- 14 london to kent
- 14 kent to london
- 30 london
this totals 123 per 9 days
£ 410 per month
2 nights / 3 days
using coach
- £14 each way
- £30 per night
average per day cost - £29
using train via salisbury
- £34 each way
- £30 per night
average per day cost - £43
