So... circumstances mean a move is in the offing, so on the offchance I get some local knowledge and useful advice from here (yeah yeah, I know!)

Mrs Wisdom has just got a new job that will involve heading to Oxford every day. As far as I can see, Banbury station's the quickest and cheapest from the area (she'd get subsidised travel from there too), so places like Stockton, Southam, (maybe Fenny Compton?) seem within reach.

Question is, where's worth checking out and where's to avoid around there, and is it all redundant anyway? Is Banbury station OK for parking, and is it possible to get there in the morning? Or would you be better off living somewhere like Budbrooke, walking to Warwick Parkway, and just changing trains?

Not too far from the station, chop those flowers down though on the front!

Yeah Leamington's quicker on the train than Warwick. No change needed, either. My main problem with Leamington is finding a house that's affordable, in easy reach of the station (the price is sufficiently extra for a season ticket it'd have to be within walking or cycling distance really), with some kind of countryside around it. Having grown up in the wilderness of North Yorkshire, Mrs. Wisdom goes a bit mental cooped up in towns or cities, so it needs an easy escape.

So I suppose Radford Semele direction could be an option?
