Me and the other half will be ready to buy our first house end of next year/beginning of the year after and just wanted to know how far people travel for work? 35 miles (Swindon/Banbury) away from where we are now (Oxford) we can get a nice house for a lot lot cheaper, work 5 days a week so around 350 miles a week and around 1400+ a month I'll be doing. Regards, Jake
4 metres? Wow. I have a whole 15 meters to get downstairs to my desk. I was doing Cardiff to Bristol every day in September and October though. I wouldn't want to do that sort of commute permanently.
4 miles each way sometimes off nights a might only pass 2 or 3 cars ,my mate does an hour each way to work every day ,that's a weeks work every month for nowt, awfull .
80 miles round trip or up 5-6 hours on a coach. I love London commuting. Happily do 35 miles in a car if I could park for free and it was quicker.
When i was working, i travelled from Kent to N/E Scotland, 700 miles one way. That was when men, were men. Thank God, i am now retired!.
If working local, 17 miles each way. If working in Barnsley, 80 miles each way. If working in France, Switzerland, South Africa or China, then I don't drive my car
With one previous job we had an unwritten rule that if the job was less than 3 hours each way you did it without an overnight hotel stay. Some of those trips clocked up some miles in a VW Sharan and even more if I drove my own car either a Peugeot 405 mi16 or a laguna sport Sent from my Z3...
Just under 40 miles each way. Hopefully moving closer to home this year. 80 miles a day gets seriously expensive and seriously boring...
15 minute walk or 15min drive, prefer to walk especially if the motorway is stuffed, could take 30 mins to get home.
I work up to around 30 miles away. Self employed Plumber so I don't work in 1 place. We've looked at moving further away too because much cheaper. A 2 bed semi here can be up to 300k, 30/40 miles north and they can be up to 100k cheaper. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
38 miles each way, from Essex to Central London. I leave at 5:45 AM and it takes around 50 minutes. Coming back I leave around 6:45 and can get home by 7:30pm, especially now the school holidays are on :-) Cheaper and quicker than going by train. Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk
Yep, :-) i love what I do, work is a pleasure for me. That includes going to the gym every day. Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk
I moved house and job the same week, both got further apart. 70miles round commute but I have the option to work from home sometimes if needs be. I ended up buying a cheap car for commuting which almost pays for itself on fuel alone. I use the megane any other time.
It depends... I work from home, but shoot videos on location. So 2-3 times a week I drive anywhere from 20 to 100 miles or so, the other days 0.
2 miles each way on a bike or van if its raining. Meg comes out at the weekend if I'm not busy which is rare. Its a tough old life eh!
1 mile, which takes 15 minutes to walk, 15 minutes to drive, or 15 minutes on the motorbike (including putting my bike gear on), usually take the meg because i'm lazy.
24 miles per day i total, but at my old job it was 38 miles each way and included a lovely jaunt round the M25 during morning and evening rush hour. I don't miss that commute anymore...
live in Barnsley, travel to Hull, Grimsby,Sheffield, Rotherham, up to 150 miles per day.. luckily have a company car to take the miles.. (Insignia 1.6 diesel.. 0-60 monster, not....)
38 miles each way down to a clients site, getting properly fed up with it as its cross country, nearly always 1hr+ down and around 50 minutes home. Its not so much the distance as the 10hr+ days, an extra hour or so at home makes a massive difference to ones quality of life.
Drive 4 miles to the train station. Then 7 on the train. Quicker and cheaper than driving/parking, although you do have share the train with some odd bods.
