How long is your commute to work?

[The Northern Baptist]

I measure my commute in steps. It’s 10 steps from my bed to my office at home. Bliss

I leave the house at 3.50am am in the car park for 3.54am catch the staff bus at 4.00am,10 min bus ride,get into work after going through security at about 4.30 am for a 5.00am start,so 4 mins by car 10 mins by bus,think it takes too long,should be allowed to park on the ramp at work,now that would be good.

30 - 45 seconds normally but could be up to a minute in the summer.

I have avoided the move to London all my career as I like living 30 mins, by bike from work in MCR. I think your experience in London is far from the norm.

One day I might make the move, or have to make the move, but I'd have no idea where to live.

I’m not sure mate. The general rule of thumb is to pick where you live based on the transport to your work. Tubes and trains are frequent (in my case waiting over 5 minutes is a long time). Buses are decent too (although I have to take people’s word for that - personally haven’t used them).

I think most people commute for around 30 - 40 minutes.

In my heyday I commuted an hour and three quarters each way, door to door, for 10 years.

Drive to station, train into London then walk from Charing X.

A mug’s game.

Such short commutes to my hour! I’m in the wrong job.

Such short commutes to my hour! I’m in the wrong job.

looking at this logically you're more likely to be in the wrong place

If I am working from home its totally dependent on whether I stop off for a slash on my way from bedroom to dining room. If I go to the office it can take 55 mins to just over 2hrs - either is too long.

An hour door to door. Never had much luck in terms of a short commute, this has been one of the better ones. Can be up to 2 hours a few days a week if I'm at meetings or site visits, but get paid for mileage so it's all good.

Did 2 years Northwich to Birmingham hour and half each way switched to Liverpool base when the M6 roadworks started now 35 mins but ripped off over that bloody bridge.
