The best commuter towns to London have once again been revealed, with the top ten for 2018 being released.

TotallyMoney’s annual survey examines 116 of the most popular commuter towns which connect to London.

By analysing criteria such as journey time, average house price, season ticket cost and life satisfaction, it works out which is the best place to commute to the city from.

Which city comes out on top? It may surprise you.

The number one spot goes to Purfleet in Essex, which had the cheapest house price according to Zoopla which is just £210,820.

It also had satisfaction rates of 7.77 according to the Office National Statistics, with journey times to London just 33 minutes.

A season ticket wasn’t the cheapest season ticket with it still costing a steep £2,376.

Coming in second was Waltham Cross, Hertfordshire, followed by Chestnut, Hertfordshire.

Essex had the most towns in the top ten, with Laindon and Grays also featuring.

However, it was bad news for Virginia Water in Surrey, with average house prices at £1.5 million, making it the worst London commuter town in the UK.

For commuters looking for a quick journey, Ebbsfleet in Kent offers train travel to the city for just 18 minutes.

Wellingborough in Northamptonshire had the most affordable houses with an average of just £204.113.

TotallyMoney Head of Brand and Communications Joe Gardiner said: “Like so many life decisions, finding your perfect home is about balancing what’s important to you.

“While house prices have a massive impact on where people buy, it’s not the only influencing factor. We hope our research will open people’s eyes to locations they might not have thought of previously.”

Research by Price Waterhouse Coopers also found house prices in Brentwood Essex have increased the most out of all commuter towns.

It has seen an 8.5 per cent increase compared to a national level of just 3.7 per cent.

Lyft Line was built from the start to make daily ridesharing more affordable, but it really comes into its own if you can use a commuter benefits card. It lets you use pre-tax dollars to pay for a ride, cutting up to 35 percent of the price. It’s a good thing, then, that you no longer have to worry about where those cards are available — Lyft has expanded the use of commuter benefits to all 18 US cities where Line operates. Provided your employer offers the cards in the first place, you now have a low-cost way to commute to work without taking a bus or train.

Your company will have to offer benefits from a handful of providers (Ameriflex, Benefit Resource, Benefit Solutions, Navia, WageWorks or Zenefits) for this to work. You’re not guaranteed to get a discount just by living in a Lyft Line area. However, Lyft clearly hopes companies will embrace the idea — it helps staff get to work quickly without pressuring them into buying a car. Yes, it’s ultimately meant to boost adoption of Lyft’s shared services, but it could be helpful if it gives you a speedy commute while sparing you the costs of personal vehicle ownership.

It involved the 65-year-old saying something about retiring from action films.

As a very stylish opening progressed, I was convinced this had now come to pass. 

As we jumped across time during his daily commute to Manhattan (the weather and Liam’s suits keep changing), we were learning about his life. 

He’s a family man and a loving husband – a regular guy with the usual money worries. 

Then we see him losing his job selling insurance. Tough. 

Then he meets a friend for a drink. He’s a cop. 

He used to be his partner.

So Liam’s an ex-cop. 

Hang on, is this an action movie?  

Now he’s back on the train chatting to a mysterious woman. 

Did she say her gang have kidnapped his family? 

And now he has to assassinate a passenger to save them? 

So this is Taken meets Non-Stop? On a train? 

Why don’t they just do it themselves, like normal gangsters? 

Does this make any sense? 

Weren’t you supposed to have retired, Liam?

At this point, Liam Neeson movies are practically a genre unto themselves, and Liam Neeson-Jaume Collet-Serra movies are quite possibly their apex. The Commuter is one of the best of the bunch. Even though it’s not really anything you haven’t seen before, Neeson’s commitment to the role and Collet-Serra’s at times inspired direction make for a movie that’s hell on wheels. Sure, you can see some of the twists coming from a mile away, but it’s a forgivable sin when they’re executed with so much panache.

For instance, we’ve all seen montages used to denote the passage of time, but not quite the way that Collet-Serra does to open the film. What he gives us is a sort of composite Groundhog Day, a single routine shown to us over the course of a seemingly endless number of days as it repeats over and over again, sunny on some occasions and cloudy on others, overlapping right up until Neeson finally gets onto his commuter train.

As Michael MacCauley, a former cop currently peddling insurance to provide for his wife and son, Neeson is unreasonably great. On paper, his character isn’t all that interesting, but the level of intensity and earnestness that Neeson brings to every role he’s ever taken raise MacCauley — and everything around him, as almost every cast member is a caricature — to another level. There’s Shazad Latif as the business bro, Andy Nyman as the chatty neighbor, Florence Pugh as the punk teen — everyone is playing a part in the most literal sense possible (and with the clunky dialogue to boot), but it comes together.

On his way home after being fired and thereby left in the lurch with a reverse-mortgage that’s been taken in order to pay for his son’s college tuition, MacCauley meets a woman (Vera Farmiga) who poses a hypothetical scenario. There’s a passenger on this train that doesn’t belong. If he can figure out who that passenger is before the end of the line, he’ll receive $ 100,000 in cash. Obviously this isn’t actually a hypothetical — if he doesn’t mark the passenger with a tracker (that will then signal someone else on board to kill them), then his family will be killed. And just in case he starts getting cocky, they kill off the very first passenger he enlists to help him.

As indicated by the reason behind MacCauley’s desperation, there’s a little class commentary at work in The Commuter. It never quite manages to coalesce — none of the overt morals of the film do — in part because the movie is ultimately so singularly about Neeson kicking ass and taking names (and briefly being schooled on the Brontë sisters by an understated Jonathan Banks) that there’s no space for anything else. And that’s just fine.

Or close to it, anyway. For the most part, the film zips along, but there’s an entire act at the end that could probably have been chopped off or otherwise condensed, with the lean, mean fun of the bulk of the film suddenly bloating into the grim, explosive theatrics that tend to dominate so many blockbusters these days. It’s an unnecessary spectacle, as is only proven by how much more hair-raising the first half of the film is when it’s just Liam Neeson in, on, and around a train, utilizing everything he can in order to stay alive. The shot in which Collet-Serra pulls back from Neeson’s shocked face and then back through the entire train is more thrilling than any of the fireworks that end the movie.

At its heart, The Commuter is very much a how movie rather than a why movie. Yes, there’s a why to be sussed out – why MacCauley, why this passenger, etc. — but it’s not like any character played by Liam Neeson is ever going to completely turn his back on being moral. So, while it’s fun trying to piece together what’s going on, it’s the how that really makes or breaks the movie, and boy, does it make it. How is he going to get back on a moving train after falling out of the bottom of it? How is he going to survive bringing an electric guitar to a knife fight?

The supporting cast is stacked enough that it’s a bit of a pity to see them turn into grist on the Neeson mill (Elizabeth McGovern plays MacCauley’s wife and appears in maybe a minute of the film), but that’s to be expected. This is a film built on a particular formula, after all. And it’s a formula that works. This is now the fourth time that Neeson and Collet-Serra have worked together, with Unknown (2011), Non-Stop (2014), and Run All Night (2015) already under their belts, and as previously mentioned, they’ve boiled this down to such an art that it’s fun to imagine what might come next. Planes, check; trains, check; there are only so many more places to go that are quite so contained as environments for a man to suffer a crisis of conscience, but it’s hard not to hope that the options will be limitless. A boat seems like the obvious next choice. Then a stretch limo, maybe?

Property prices in Swanley, Kent, less than a 40-minute train journey from London, are now just a little over 375,000, having risen around £36,500 over the past 12 months. 

The rapid 10.78 per cent growth means owners would claw back the cost of their £2,500 annual rail fare within 25 days. 

Dursley – a town on the outskirts of Bristol – has also seen strong growth over the past 12 months, with property prices around 9.71 per cent (£26,339) higher than last year. 

Residents of the market town could pay off their annual commuting costs to Bristol within 32 days, according to property website Zoopla.

Commuter hotspots in the Midlands featured three times with property prices in Bromsgrove, which is around 30 minutes by train from Birmingham, rising by 9.61 per cent to an average of £301,384 in the year.  

For residents in Bromsgrove, it would take just 16 days to cover the cost of an annual season ticket to Birmingham.

Elsewhere, in the Midlands, house prices have risen by 8.18 per cent in the year to an average of £383,488. 

It would take a commuter 19 days of house price growth to cover the cost of an annual rail ticket to Birmingham.

Commuter towns in West Yorkshire within easy reach of Leeds also fare well. 

Homes in Ilkley have risen by 8.52 per cent over the past year (paid off in 14 days) and homeowners in Bingley have seen values go up by 7.91 per cent (paid off in 23 days).

After Swanley and Berkhamstead, riverside Greenhithe is the next best performing location within commuting distance of pricey London, with property price growth of 7.61 per cent in the last year.

It would take a commuter 40 days to cover the cost of an annual rail ticket from Greenhithe to London. 

However not all commuter towns have seen a general growth in property values over the past year.

Burton-On-Trent in Staffordshire, Walton-On-Thames in Surrey and Bushey in Hertfordshire had the weakest growth in property values in the study, with annual falls of 5.21 per cent, 4.99 per cent 4.9 per cent respectively.

Lawrence Hall, a spokesman for Zoopla, said: “An easy commute into the office is often very near the top of the property wish list for those looking to move home, and these figures show just how valuable it can be to live within easy reach of a city centre. 

“Towns with good transport links into Birmingham have performed particularly well in 2017 due to continued demand in the region, which offers better value compared to the south of the country.”

Average train ticket prices across Britain have gone up by 3.4 per cent with rail commuters paying up to £2,500 more for a season ticket to work than they were at the beginning of the decade.

Last month, data from the Office for National Statistics revealed that UK property prices increased by an average of 4.5 per cent in the year to October, down from 4.8 per cent in September.

TOP 10 COMMUTER TOWNS FOR HOUSE PRICE GROWTH WITH THE MAJOR CITY NEARBY, THE AVERAGE HOUSE PRICE AND THE ANNUAL GROWTH RATE:

1. Swanley, London, £375,066, 10.78 per cent

2. Dursley, Bristol, £297,581, 9.71 per cent

3. Bromsgrove, Birmingham, £301,384, 9.61 per cent

Incase ICON Lite PackIncase Instagram

There’s a pretty good chance you’ve heard of Incase by now, but that’s probably more likely to be because of their laptop and phone cases than by way of any of their other products. Which, by the looks of it, could very well be changing in the near future.

The company recently released their newest take on the backpack with the ICON Lite, and sent a few to our team to test out.

Let me begin by saying that as a student with an hour-long commute to and from work, I’ve spent much of the last four years in a backpack, regardless of whether or not I wanted to. I need to carry my books, pens, and tech for class alongside my work materials, and maybe a pair of sneakers and some clothes to change into for the gym. When I leave my house in the morning, it’s likely to be for the full day.

The problem with many backpacks is that it’s seemingly impossible to combine functional spaciousness with a design that doesn’t undercut itself by being bulky. Wearing a backpack can already feel less sophisticated in professional settings, and a sophisticated design goes a long way with me and my efforts to convey a qualified persona.

So I was really pleasantly surprised by the ICON Lite. It was designed to communicate refined mobility, simplicity, and a weightless appearance.

The design is definitely minimal, but for my purposes, the less flashy the better. And though minimal, I can’t say that the simple design lacks any forethought, since one of my favorite features is a convenient built-in faux-fur padded MacBook sleeve, as well as a smaller faux-fur pocket for any smaller tech. There aren’t bells, whistles, or lone rhinestones, but the basics that you’re actually looking for have been thoughtfully perfected with sleek compression in mind. 

The pack itself is compact and slender, but holds everything my (much bigger) model did before it. I was able to transfer the same 13-inch MacBook, 1-liter water bottle, change of clothes, notebooks, chargers, pens, and sneakers to the ICON Lite for a humorously minimized silhouette. I don’t feel the same pressure to immediately take it off when I’m commuting on public transportation, and I’ve been able to easily stuff it under my desk during class.

When I was using my other backpack, I often ended the day feeling sore and achy, but due to the well-placed padding on the ICON, I haven’t had any noticeable discomfort in the last two weeks. 

The backpack is listed at $ 99.94, a comfortable price range in comparison with like products. And though it’s not always the most exciting thing to drop $ 100 on, it will make small, hyper-useful improvements to your life as a student, commuter, or someone who just likes to ride their bike to work from the first day on. 

I used to think I couldn’t have a backpack that was affordable, sleek, and spacious, and after using the ICON Lite for a few weeks, I’m a little concerned about all the other things I’m apparently wrong about. It’s compact, comfortable, and minimal.

So in terms of what most users are looking for, it’s pretty much right on the money. 

You can read what the rest of the Insider Picks team had to say about Incase’s ICON Lite backpack below:

Incase icon lite lifestyleIncase Instagram

Breton Fischetti, senior director, commerce:

This is a great daily use backpack. It’s a good size in that it would be easy to maneuver around in crowded areas or tuck under a table at a restaurant. It holds a surprising amount of stuff, and I like that several pockets are fleece-lined to prevent things from scratching if I put my keys and phone in the same pocket (which I do all the time).

The straps are comfortable, and there’s just enough ventilation in the pads that touch my back to keep it from getting too hot. It definitely wins more points for function than design, but I like a backpack that looks minimal. The fewer people that notice that I’m wearing one, the better — and this blends in nicely. 

Brandt Ranj, associate commerce editor:

I’ve always associated Incase with smartphone accessories, but I have to say they’ve actually made a very nice backpack. 

It’s small enough to be commute-friendly, but large enough to hold more than just your daily essentials. I could easily fit a 13-inch laptop, water bottle, a couple of books, pens, cables, and headphones in the backpack with no problem.

My favorite part about this backpack, though, is how comfortable it is to wear; the shoulder straps have a nice layer of uniform padding, so you won’t ache after wearing it for an extended period of time. I’m also a fan of this backpack’s laptop slot, which is lined with a velvety-soft material that’ll keep your laptop free from scratching. That’s a small touch, but it shows that Incase put some extra time into their design. If your current school or commuting pack is looking a little long in the tooth, I highly suggest giving Incase’s serious consideration.

Tyler Lauletta, commerce reporter:

I’m a big believer in having a reliable backpack to get you to and from work — it’s an item worth investing in because, chances are, you’ll be trusting it to keep some of your most valuable possessions safe and secure. Incase’s backpack is a fantastic commuter backpack, with its soft and secure laptop sleeve immediately grabbing my attention. Beyond that, it has plenty of space for your odds and ends, whether they be books, art supplies, or a spare change of clothes. While I will probably continue using my Aer backpack for travel and long weekends, Incase’s is a great option if you’re looking for something sleek, simple, and secure.

Kelsey Mulvey, commerce reporter:

I’ve never been much of a backpack person, but toting around Incase‘s slim backpack has turned me into a believer. It’s incredibly spacious, fitting my laptop, gym clothes, sneakers, and all my other daily essentials without it looking clunky. If you’re a student or bring your computer to work each day, this pack also features a heavily padded laptop compartment. While I always carry my laptop in a case, this slot is so well-made I would feel safe slipping my bare computer inside it. Available in a bunch of great colors, it’s is easy on the eyes, too.

You don’t know the train commute from hell until you’ve been blackmailed into identifying a hidden passenger who is being targeted by an elaborate criminal conspiracy. So, thank goodness that it’s Liam Neeson at the center of The Commuter trailer, and not you. Because you can always count on Liam Neeson to do what he does best, while you would likely send a strongly worded tweet at the MTA.

Watch The Commuter Trailer

The Commuter follows a reliable, old action thriller formula that we’ve seen in everything from The Phone Booth, to Speed, to Red Eye: an ordinary person is stuck on an ordinary mode of transit — or a phone booth — and given life or death choices that could save or kill hundreds. (It’s also a great ethical thought experiment that was recently highlighted on The Good Place, but that’s not here nor there.)

Sometimes that ordinary person stays ordinary, but in most cases they are revealed to have some extraordinary talent or ability — in The Commuter‘s case, Liam Neeson benefits from simply being Liam Neeson. While he plays a run-of-the-mill insurance salesman who is caught in a tight spot when a stranger threatens other peoples’ lives if he doesn’t find a hidden passenger, there are clear scenes in the trailer where Neeson is punching people out or handling a gun — more than what an insurance salesman is likely capable of. Then again, I may simply be underestimating insurance salesmen.

The Commuter is Jaume Collet-Serra‘s follow-up to The Shallows, an unexpectedly entertaining horror-thriller in which Blake Lively fights a shark. So Collet-Serra has a talent for taking a rote narrative and turning it into something wholly enjoyable, which The Commuter could very well be, especially with its semi-reunion between The Conjuring co-stars Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga. Not to mention it will be one of Neeson’s last (or maybe not) forays into the action genre.

Here’s the official synopsis for The Commuter:

In this action-packed thriller, Liam Neeson plays an insurance salesman, Michael, on his daily commute home, which quickly becomes anything but routine. After being contacted by a mysterious stranger, Michael is forced to uncover the identity of a hidden passenger on his train before the last stop. As he works against the clock to solve the puzzle, he realizes a deadly plan is unfolding and is unwittingly caught up in a criminal conspiracy. One that carries life and death stakes, for himself and his fellow passengers.

The Commuter stars Liam Neeson, Vera Farmiga, Patrick Wilson, Sam Neill, and Elizabeth McGovern. It’s directed by Jaume Collet-Serra with a screenplay by Byron Willinger and Philip de Blasi.

The Commuter is set to open in theaters on January 12, 2018.

Chariot, an on-demand commuter van service owned by Ford, had to suspend it’s operations in San Francisco due to compliance issues with the California Highway Patrol, according to the San Francisco Business Times.

TechCrunch reports that the CHP found Chariot drivers without the correct Class B drivers licenses during three separate inspections. A re-inspection was conducted on Thursday, which is likely why service has been suspended. The company tweeted that it hoped to resolve the issue quickly.

Chariot, which also operates in other cities like Seattle, Austin, and New York City, has been looking to disrupt mass transit in San Francisco, an ambition somewhat thwarted this week when the city proposed rules to ban shuttles from driving along public transportation routes, said TechCrunch. While it’s possible that Chariot will resolve the current licensing problem quickly, hopefully the company will have learned that it can’t just operate without regard to local laws and regulations.
