You don't say where you live now. Is daily travel a sensible consideration? Would you be able to afford a flat in a suburb? If your job takes you away on 'the road' for a goodly portion of your time, you might even want to think about staying at a club when needed or casually in something like a Premier Inn.
I've seen people travel from quite a long way up the line because it was easier than any sort of commute from a suburb. I recall the engineer who commuted from Edinburgh by air - yes, honest but that was a long time ago.
