How long is your commute?

Commute to London on SETrains.

Leave the house at 06.30 and walk into work for 08.10.

Cant complain too much as I finish at 16.15 Mon - Fri. :)
 
My commute today took about 10 seconds - I only had to walk from the bedroom to the study.

When I'm in the office it usually takes about an hour to drive the 25 miles to the office, and 45 minutes to get home again.

My 'commute' can vary greatly though as most of the time I'm working abroad.
 
20 miles each way, takes 1 hour there, 50 minutes back. Man I hate rush hour.

Get up.

Wash and dress

Go downstairs

Through kitchen ( turn on coffee machine on the way)

Through utility room

Into purpose built office da daa:)
 
It really all depends on traffic! Anything from 1.5 hours to 3 hours!! (200 miles) to the NHS hospital I work for. Own business working for Shell is either on my doorstep or the other side of the country :mad:

IT Director. The company is dotted all over Europe so in the usual run of things I can do my job from anywhere as long as I have an internet connection and a telephone.

A minimum of 1 hour 30 minutes each way that doesnt include the time it takes me to walk to and from the stations etc Obviously trains/tubes are often delayed so some days i spend a very long communting :(

But the time on the train isn't dead time like driving - I mean you can still read a book, use your laptop etc...
 
Mines about an hr each way, since we moved offices to the docklands but tbh i dont mind taking the tube then the DLR, not as bad. 25 mins on the tube then another 20 or so mins on the DLR, plus i get to oggle plenty of hot city type chicks as well:p:D
 
It's ~35 miles, or about 45 minute drive. But most of the time I take the back roads as its a better drive, so about 55 mins. Once I get to work, its a 1 mile walk from the car park which takes about 10 mins.

All in, it's about 1 hour door-to-door. Thats costs me about £25-30 a week in juice.

If I got public transport instead of driving, it's a 2 mile journey to the train station - except buses don't run until after 8 and I start at 8. A 35 min journey on the train and costs £12.80 a day for a return ticket :rolleyes:

That's almost exactly the same as my drive / public transport options.
 
If the money is good enough, then it's not really a problem. Especially if you like/want the job. If the money is 'alright', then it takes a sizeable chunk out of your wage :(

Yeah - I'm a bit worried about this cause I messed up when they asked me what package I want. Think I will get the offer this week with the salary. Then I will try and negotiate an extra £1500 to cover my fuel.
 
35 miles. 40 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes back in the evening, both by car. To be honest, I hate it. Especially as my last job was a 30 second walk :/
 
I currently do an hour each way on the motorbike, but I'm seriously considering moving to Doncaster and commuting into Kings cross each day. Roughly 1h50m each way... Am I mad.... :confused:
