I use to get a train on the district line, took about 15 minutes plus a bus ride to get to the station.

Now I drive, which takes around the same time, and is about a 10 mile journey. With the train and bus prices going up all the time, Its just cheaper to go by car... and more comfortable

 

I used to have about a 25 mile journey to work, but since I moved in with the gf its only about 10 miles.

 

13 miles from Kidderminster to Worcester...ok-ish drive.

 

about 3 miles - out into the countryside too ...

 

30-35 miles depending on which route I take. Not unusual to spend 3 hours a day in my car getting more miffed by the minute

 

I cycle to work...and its about 6 miles from home to work...I love it...better than public transport and less hassle than a car especially when its traffic and muggins here knows all the shortcuts......of course come rain and wind it can be a nightmare...

 

I used to live about 10 miles from work and it took me around 30minutes to get into work due to the traffic through the town. I now live further away from work but come into town the opposite way and miss all the traffic and the School runs, so now it takes me about 15 minutes to get there.

Extra zzzzzzz’s for me in the morning.

 

the miles bit is a bit pointless measurement on a london commute
I work about 8 miles away but it can take two hours to get there on a bad day
hellish does not begin to describe it!

 

my new job (pending medical) - it's around 30 min drive, when lights are green and traffic is moving, when red, or slow traffic then its like a hour or so...

 

30 minute commute, here.

 

In distance my commute doesn't sound so bad, it's a 25 mile trip each way. It gets worse when you break it down though - I have to pay £5 each day to cross the crappy Severn Bridge and I have to drive to the other side of Bristol which can take anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour and a half depending on traffic.

I do get to car-share with someone up the road though so the expense is split and I can have a snooze when I'm not driving.

 

I drive around 35 miles to work everyday. And i should soon be on call as well 24/7 so if i need od a dial in to customers site at 02:00 i'll have to drive in then!

Its not so bad as last year i was driving 55 miles each way and when the A14 was closed it once took me 3 1/2 hours to get in!!

If i could get a job closer paying as much i would prefer it as it would be easier especially with the kids too!

 

I work from home hence I only go to work when I have to go to a customer. All my customers are reasonably local, so a 20 min drive is the max these days.

When I lived in Croydon, it took me 15 minutes every day to cover the first mile. The traffic jam started outside my house and didn't end till I got to work. Gee I miss those days - NOT!

 

I havent got a job

 

70 mile round trip a day. Takes around 2-3 hours in total of my day (morning run always slower than evening, as coincides with schools).

It's sh1t - no other description. Hurrah for a good CD player

 

About 2 minutes by car...and 5 minutes by pushbike. I could walk there if I felt like it...

 

Well IMHO I reckon you will land a good one soon dude!

I noticed you have Autocad in your certs! - are you in the structure, ME or Civil side of things??

I only ask because in several years past I did a lot of ME work in AutoCAD and Cadkey as part of my previous toolmaking employment.

 

I'm about 7.5 km away and that's by a round-about way. If I rode a bicycle it would be a lot less as I could take the shortcuts where you can't drive. It takes about 15 minutes, maybe 20 if the traffic is bad.
