What are the totals for other group posters just so we can see if people
typically do have long or short trip times?



About 3.5 hours a day for me, nearly 800 hours a year.

Three guys in my office (of 6) spend longer than me, the longest spends
3 hours EACH WAY from Deal to West London, 1350 hours a year.

The shortest commute is 35 minutes each way, walking from chiswick.

This is based in London. 10 years ago, my parents spent 35 minutes each
way and 22 minutes each way, now It'd probably be longer now (the short
one included M62 J11 - M62 J13, the long one was via thelwell)

OTOH my sister has a sickening 3 minute commute, she's the only one I
know that has less than half an hour each way.


At *least* 90 Min in the morning and about 70 min in the evening. That's
from the Enfield area to Waterloo (Most of the time)


The morning trip is stuffed because of the lack of Waterloo & City Line
(Ohh I do hope they get it right and open on time!)

Since I work odd days/weekends and I might not go into my Waterloo
office I cant just spit out a yearly figure.

And since we are on the subject of the WL&C - I still think the LUL/TfL
are being a bit harsh not giving season ticket holders *anything* for
the closure of the drain. I (along with a lot of other people) have at
least an extra 30 - 40 mins 'delay' on the up, the down for me is much
easier as I get a good run out of the office early and can (normally)
get the LUL back to Seven Sisters instead of going via Liverpool St.


Grrr

And to follow myself up - that didn't include the weekly trip I had to
make to Leeds, or the fortnightly trip I made to Bristol both for work.
