Initial prices don't seem to give much of a discount, I guess perhaps they're being cautious - maybe they don't want to be hammered by a big loss of revenue if a load of people switch to 2 or 3 days a week.
You might not have much of a choice if you want to work in say London - have you seen the cost of parking in central London + congestion charge?
As far as most people's budgets are concerned houses with a short commute to central London tend to be small terraces with tiny gardens and no off-street parking.
One place I worked at in the city had some places in the underground parking garage which almost no one used but they weren't allocated, you could request one from reception on a short term basis but it's no good if you want to regularly commute - people would do it more because they were staying out late past their last train home etc... I guess if you had a motorbike or scooter then that would have been ideal as you'd not really need a space to park it in.
As a kid I worked in a place in Brum one summer where people drove in, underground carpark again, very secure, but the cars were crammed in there - you'd have to leave your keys with security as they'd fit two cars lengthways, bumper to bumper, in the long spaces.
Overall train is much easier, especially if you just have a short walk from the train station to your office/no tube to get on once you're in London.
