Commuting from Bath to ???

Hello All

We are moving back to the UK after living overseas for several years. We don't have jobs lined up (eek!) so can pick pretty much anywhere we like that fits in with our criteria.

Bath is joint-top of our list right now in terms of living but does not seem to have as many employment prospects as say Bristol. Google Maps says it is 12 minutes by train and 30-40 minutes by road from Bath to Bristol centre which is not too bad if this is the case.

Does anyone have any experience of doing this on a daily basis in all weathers? Any other towns/cities we could commute to within an hour?

We could of course just move to Bristol but from what I have read could spend the same amount of time just getting from one side to another if you happen to live in one location for schools but work in another part of Bristol.

Thanks

I live just outside of Bath (20 minutes or so) in a rural village.
Great schools around here (can only vouch for primary thus far) and I commute to London a few days a week.

Lots of my friends live here and work in Bristol, it's actually a BS postcode but physically closer to Bath so do look outside if you can. Bath is beautiful and the trains are very regular to and from Bristol, as are the buses, so you shouldn't have any problems.

Good luck and do keep us posted.
