Jane,

I work in Leeds and the train I travel on starts in Hull. It's crammed full of workers commuting from Hull to Leeds each day. If Hull's not giving you the job you want (though I like Hull myself), why not try Leeds and join us on the morning train? The commute's not so bad; I've met some lovely people on that train, including the partner of a very well known East Riding musician.
And Leeds' wages are better too.........
