My ticket is £73 a month and I live about 10 miles from the centre of London. That doesn't include tubes etc but I am lucky in that I work 5 mins from my station so no need to get the tube.
Thats still £870 odd a year just to get to work.

£2700 on a peice of paper 
See you could buy a bike, and pay it off in 2 years, and still ahve a bike at the end of it. Instead of 2 yearly train tickets..

If my company paid my travel and car parking I would be over £350 a month better off.

yes, another argument is that northerners dont commute because there is no jobs to commute to up there.

dont forget if your train is late you can get money back if its over 30 mins
Eg National Express give you £3 if your train is 30 mins late or £6 if its an hour late

Sometimes I don't even get a seat too! 
Pisses me off. Can't wait to move back to the north where it's not a battle just to get to work.
