Distance to workplace

[mawders]

400km, which takes 2 hrs 15 on the train and then a 20 min bus. Naturally I rent a small flat a 10 min walk from work. I'm in 2-3 days a week

 

[LowerGwladysLad]

35 miles/22 miles depending on the route I take. 35-40mins for day shifts, 60-70mins for night shift, definitely notice the 2 hours added on to my 12 hour shifts!

Never lived more than 8 miles from my workplace, which was good after a 12 hour night shift. Enjoying retirement now.

34 miles, takes between 45 minutes to an hour. Can only drive, would take 2 hours on publiv transport and cost a fortune. But I can work from home if I want, some people in the office cry when I work from home though, oddballs

 

[Kurt.]

18 miles each way

 

[WA Toffee]

Bus then train, takes anywhere between 30-50 minutes.
Occassionally drive which takes about 20 minutes to work and 50 minutes homewards

 

[Philw]

6.5/7 miles, about 30/35 mins by car most days. 20 if there's no traffic. Having to cross the Thames is a p.i.t.a.

Agreed
I worked a 12 hr rotating shift 3 days a week and nothing worse than a drive home after a night shift
Luckily I’ve always lived within 2 miles of the job but no biggie
Lads that had a 40/50min drive would talk of having the windows rolled down and the radio blaring to try and stay awake

45 mins door to door - using the sweet old Northern Line then Metropolitan Line in London.

 

[PITA]

90 miles. Train then tube. 2 hours each way

6 mile bike ride for me, dropping the kids off at school en route in the morning. Takes 25min or thereabouts.

Always ridden to work as it goes but wouldn't mind a decent train ride - sit down with a book. Rail passes seem expensive though whenever I hear them mentioned.

You give backies to your kids?!

 

[Frang]

I hate working any further than an hour away... But sometimes it could be a couple hours away like when we built leigh rmi new ground

No mate, we all ride our bikes.
Have to be careful round the school - some appalling driving with parents turfing their kids out on the zigzags.

 

[Brisan123]

I thought the same
However I’m sure there’s a rational explanation
Could be one of those covered carriages on the back of the bike
Always looked dangerous to me though
If a car hits from the back , kids are first to get it
