I'm not trying to be facetious, but you won't be. It's now hypothetical.
As an 11 year across-London commuter, a one hour delay to your journey is not a daily, nor weekly occurrence. The vast majority of days it will be 56 minutes. It might, on some days, be 2 hours, if the delays are really, really bad. Most of the time, a delay is more likely to be 10 minutes.
As you won't say which stations, it's impossible to tell you the reality of the timings.
KiKi' <-- See that? It's called an apostrophe. It does not mean "hey, look out, here comes an S".0 -

I don't think that it should matter this much.You should be more concerned with the job profile than the duration.0

I used to have to drive 80 miles to get to appointments in a training job I once had and it cost at least 30 per day. But the wage was ok and the mileage was paid for the additional miles travelled. I will be starting a new job and it will be 45 minutes of travel each way.The harder one works the luckier one gets!0

would not bother me in the slightest id walk miles to a job if i had too (and have done in the past )Replies to posts are always welcome, If I have made a mistake in the post, I am human, tell me nicely and it will be corrected. If your reply cannot be nice, has an underlying issue, or you believe that you are God, please post in another forum. Thank you0

Ignoring the commute reason and variance of attitudes towards that, I would have attended the interview simply for the experience, to learn something, and to get a better idea if I wanted the job, maybe even find out if travel expenses may have been accounted for.:www: Progress Report :www:
