How long is your work commute?

Terminal_Boy · 8 Sep 2019 at 17:45

Was 1.5 hours each way. Now 30 seconds as the kitchen is my office.

A 10 minute cycle ride through the village, across a field and up a towpath.
Could only be improved by not leaving the house.
Previous job was a 12 mile motorway commute in North Birmingham so I am more than happy

1 hour 45 min, door to door.

Depends, if the brats are at school then the roads are buisier and i might need 10+ mins, if not then 4 or 5 max.

Anywhere between 20 and 40 minutes to go 11 miles depending on the traffic.
Thankfully it usually takes 25 in the mornings and 30 in the evenings.

WFH mostly. About once every two weeks will get me team together (all located around the country) in which case will ask them to all meet at companies office in London. Direct Mainline train takes 35 mins into central and 5 min walk on each end.

Depends. If I go to the Kitchen first its twice as far. Otherwise. Bedroom-Office about 12 foot

Or on a bad day/evening/night could be 300 miles if I get called out (before then doing a 300 mile route of collections)

I used to do 15-20 mile by car and on avergae took 30-45 mins. I used to complain so much about it saying I'd get a better location. I'd take that right now as commuting to London on the dire train service we have for the past 5 years has worn me down. I love the city and the London vibe but....if only teleporters existed.

1.5 hours each way on the train for the last eleven years. Frankly I've had enough of it.

12 steps from bed to office chair. Can't see me ever going back to a 30-40min each way commute. Or any commute for that matter

IvanDobskey · 9 Sep 2019 at 08:01

Used to be ten minutes down the road for 27 years. Now an hour on the train to Cambridge

30 mins from home to work for me, more importantly, it's a very consistent, stress free drive mainly. I work from home at least 1 day a week which also helps.

Scort · 9 Sep 2019 at 08:26

My commute is around 30 minutes, via the back roads on my motorcycle. I can shave 5 or so minutes off of that, if I take the car via the M4 - but the motorway isn't as fun!

I used to commute ~1 hour each way for a fair few years, but that was mainly M4, and pending closure/accidents, that time could be double (or more) on the way home - but thankfully that was quite rare. I could just about tolerate that length of commute, as it gave me a chunk of time before/after work to listen to music and relax a bit.

Beerbaron · 9 Sep 2019 at 08:27

26 mile / 40 min drive from home to work. Fairly easy driving.

byeo · 9 Sep 2019 at 08:37

Roughly 10 minutes each way, maybe 15 on the way home if the Parkway is busy.

glenimp617 · 9 Sep 2019 at 08:42

5 miles away, about an hour door to door

Combat squirrel · 9 Sep 2019 at 08:50

Another 10 second commute to my home office here, 8.49 currently, will stay in bed until 8.59 then work at 9

Burned_Alive · 9 Sep 2019 at 08:51

35 mile journey, around 50mins to 1hr depending on traffic. Also WFH on a Wednesday or any other day if required.

30 seconds lol. My first diabetic patient lives on the same road as me then I proceed to see patients all day at their homes in the local area, we have laptops with 3g so do all office based work in the car. (District Nurse for NHS)

Iamzod · 9 Sep 2019 at 08:58

I can either walk in which takes 25 mins or drive which takes about 4mins.
