Commuting from Stafford = London
"Cheeky" wrote: A lad I know does it from Crewe to London each day. As you said - rather him than me although an hour and 16 minutes isn't that bad. It can take that on a bad day from South Manchester to Wigan. I suppose it depends on what the journeys are at either end. I'm 1hr 45m each way, door to door, from Seaford (Sussex) to the Fleet Street area. The mitigating factors, for me, are the ability to work from home one day a week, and living within two minutes walk of the platform, thus avoiding any faffing about with parking and de-icing in winter etc. Even so, it's a long (and expensive) haul. Surprisingly, I've got used to the early starts (05.45 train), but if I miss the 17.46 from London Bridge, it's 'back home, into bed, get up', and I'm shattered by Wednesday. Chris |

Chris Mine varies by mode: Bus + Train + Walk is usually 1:15-1:30 Bike + Train is usually about 50 - 60 minutes depending on whether I get the express or the stopper. It's long enough for me. I loath the days I have to get the bus. The mornings are usually OK but evenings can be terrible. On the bike, the journey time is very consistent. |
