Tilknytningen til bopæl blandt disse langdistancependlere (hvoraf de fleste pendlede per tog) var meget stærk, især blandt de ældre arbejdere og blandt dem, der ikke havde flyttet bopæl i nogle år, dvs. dem med stabil livsstil.
The residential attachments of these long distance commuters (most of whom commuted by train) were very strong, particularly among the older workers and those who had not changed residence for some years, ie those with stable life styles.
