    I could be wrong about this, but I believe that employers MAY be able to contribute towards increased travel costs for the first 2 years after relocation without falling foul of HMRC regulations. However, that more often happens when the increased journey time is considerably more than 15 minutes ... so you can ask, but I wouldn't hold your breath!

    I'm going to sound harsh here but....

    You're complaining about a change that will mean your commute will go from 5 mins to 20 mins each way - well, if that's your only problem then you are very lucky indeed.

    Has it escaped your notice that we are in a recession? People are losing jobs and companies are hitting hard times.

    If you don't fancy the extra walk then leave - I'm sure there will be plenty of others willing to move into your warm seat.

    Get some perspective or get another job - your choice.
