Method

Train time is station to station at the weekday morning peak, from the national rail timetable (CIF), precomputed for 1.96 million station-to-city pairs. It does not include getting to the station.

A town's station is the fastest one within 3 km of the centre of its last twelve months of sales. A town whose nearest station is further than that is left out, rather than credited with a line it is not on.

Average sold price is the mean of every sale HM Land Registry recorded in the town in the last twelve months — the same figure its sold-prices page shows. Towns with fewer than 50 sales are left out so a handful of transactions cannot make a town "the cheapest commute".

Journeys under 10 minutes are inside the city and are not shown; over 60 minutes is not counted as a commute. Bands nest: a town 28 minutes out appears in all three.
