How long is your commute to work?

Ten minutes to the small town where i work or if i get behind a tractor, joys of country roads bit longer. Then i travel between service users,then they are mainly only five minute drive between most of them.

thanks guys.

Will only be travelling my train as I get the feeling I'll be able to wind down after work and work on the way in.

Nice to see other people doing this kind of commute and it's not just me doing it

10 mile by road to Colchester, train to Liverpool St, tube to Kensington - around 2-2 hrs 30mins

Daily cost (would do it 2 or 3 days per week, therefore no point in season ticket) £45 !

45 mins by car on a good day, up to 90 mins on a bad day. By train, anything up to 2.5 hours each way is do-able. Plenty of people commute from Cambridge to London each day - and on arrival in London then have to start their commute to the office!

15 mins in the car to my local office or 1 day a week in London - if I get the fast train then 30 mins on train and 10 minute walk to the office, slow train 50 mins.

5 minutes in the car, it's about a mile away. I can't walk, have arthritis in my feet and am recovering from an operation, and if I got the bus, I'd have to get one into town then another one back out.

OH cycles to station 15 minutes (well 10 there and 15 on the way back because it's up hill) 45 minutes on the train and a 15 minute walk. So about 1hr 15. I used to do 2 hour each way commute (drive, train, tube, walk) and although a killer initially you get used to it and as long as you can travel outside of peak it's OK.

20 mins by car for me. For husband it varied from a few steps if he's working from home, 45 mins for his local office and 2 hours if he's at HO. He can do all 3 diff things in a week.

about 45m but I need to get there on time so I need to take the bus before, so in all honesty I start work at 8:00am but leave my house at 6:50am

What grind my gears is that there is a direct bus but it passes a few stops out of the zone area along the way so I cannot take that bus, but I need to take two separate buses to make the journey. I am naming and shaming FIRST BUS. ITS LUDICROUS

I'm the same at the minute I don't drive so rely on public transport. By car/taxi commute would be 6 and a half minutes each way, by bus it takes me an hour, as I have to get bus into town then wait 10 mins for my next connection so I leave the house at 7.40 and get to work for 8.40 ish. (Depends if the driver stops for 5 mins for a fag and a read of his paper!!!)
