If you actually get let go and receive severance you will be the first associate to do so since the Great Recession. They would rather coach you out than pay severance or have you attempt to collect unemployment benefits.

^Three things can happen, 1, you get put on PIP, 2, you get laid off w/ severance, or 3, a combination of 1 and 2. The firms would rather have you find a job on your own and/or give you enough time to look for new work to avoid having you file for unemployment benefits.

I have an offer and want to negotiate

I know that's depends on the amount I have to travel (and potentially stay) but at the moment this is unknown. Past 8 months was just twice a month + 2 nights stay.

The only thing I know is it won't be every week, the return trian ticket is about £80-100, depends I could plan ahead.

I am also being released, however my school has told me that I can come back once i accomplish the tasks I need to accomplish.
For people that are on the fence about the industry, I tell them to try another district. You know what you did and didn't like about your school so you can go in armed to see what another school is like. Don't be afraid to see the school, ask for a tour, talk to the teachers. Sky's the limit!
