How long is your commute and £££?

23.1 miles each way, difficult to estimate fuel cost as I drive at the weekends too. I'd estimate about £20-30 a week.

Can take anything from 35mins to an hour+, depending on who's failed to use their eyes/ senses and caused an accident.
 
Now it's a 20 minute walk that costs me nothing. About a decade ago, however, I had to commute into London every day and that was an hour by train followed by an hour on the tube....if everything was running, which most of the time it wasn't. Travelling for 4 hours every day was bad enough, but sometimes it would be 6 hours. Never again.
 
7 Minutes walk, so free.
In fact I've never had to drive to a job, always within a 10 min max walking distance, I feel lucky for that.
 
Depends, I work in a different place every day. Most are a 30-40 minute walk (so free), today I get a train out to an industrial park that takes about 30 minutes and costs £1 each way. Wife drives me to the station, takes < 10 mins, and I get a taxi at the other end (5 mins, £3, paid by the company).

So today feels like a horribly long journey compared to the rest of the week, but I suppose it's not that bad.
 
25 miles each way... I tend to fill up £50 every couple of weeks, so I'll guess £80 a month on commuting.
 
22 miles each way, Monday to Friday. Just about all motorway miles and takes me 25 minutes, the fuel cost is usually £40 a week. Probably the easiest work commute I've ever had :)

2 mile each way, only reason i dont cycle is dodgy area, no street lights in my town now (switched off to save money) and the bike rack at work is often stolen from lol. oh and start work at 2am
 
I used to have a 10 min drive to work, used to go home for lunch allot of the time and see the wife.

Then they moved our office to London and I now have the same drive followed by at least an hour and a half on a train and tubes for which the ticket costs £6,000 a year. Plus another £1000 on parking which used to be free.
Used to leave for work at 8:45am and be home by 6:15pm, now i get up at 5:45am and get home around 7pm.
That and i got a 0% rise for the relocation so including tax i'm around £12k a year worse off.

In case you didn't guess I HATE IT.
 
Live in West London, work in the city. £5.80 for a return tube trip that takes 40mins door to door and I do it two or three times a week.
 
I work from home 3 days a week.

The other 2 days I'm in the Slough office. It's 1 hour 30 minutes / 45 miles each way. The cost is nothing to me, as I'm contracted as home based, so I just bill .45p a mile to work. Each trip is about £40 in expenses and uses 1/4 a tank.

Occasionally I'll be in the London office, which is a train to Euston and tube to Bank. Door to door is 1 hour 30 minutes and again I charge the train ticket to work.
 
8 miles each way and £2.80 per day to park. Takes 15 mins during busy time and would not consider doing anything much longer then 20mins each way. I value my time and the convenience greatly. Petrol bill for the month is roughly £100 and includes all personal miles. Sometimes only need to do 1 fill up per month so this drops to £55.
 
A few miles and about 12 minute, although that's just to my morning load up. I average around 500 miles a week totalled up

Work provided van and fuel card so zero cost
 
15 minutes door to desk, walking.
The joys of moving close to where you work (been here for 18 years... Sods law I will get a new job now I am this close!)
 
~4.5 miles each way, ~16mins in and ~19mins home (if I go direct) by mountain bike with road wheels/tyres on it.

Costs? Well just extra wear and tear over what is does on other journeys, annually ~£30 for replacement chain; cassette; tyres; tubes.
