Approx 45 mins by bike. 10 miles. Takes the same time as driving.

ChittyChittyBoomBoom · 31/08/2024 14:08

15 minutes by car, 1 hour 45 minutes by bus, no guesses to which method I use!

I work from home now, but before that I had what was, in theory, a 40 minute drive. Reality was it was closer to 1 hour in the morning and around 1 hour 15 in the evening, but could easily be 2 + hours if there was an accident or bad weather, which there frequently was. It was about 30 miles away but on the other side of a city.

Don't think I could go back to that now. Probably would do up to an hour, worst case scenario. DH changed jobs a few years ago having had a similar commute to me (opposite direction) and now his commute is 30-ish minutes and very rarely more than 35. So I guess it depends on whether a commute is likely to see heavy traffic, sees a lot of accidents etc.

theduchessofspork · 31/08/2024 14:14

An hour - 40 mins on train, 20 mins walking

Isabelle70 · 31/08/2024 14:15

8 mins by car.

TwitchyNibbles · 31/08/2024 14:16

40-45 minutes on public transport assuming everything is running as it should be.

gano · 31/08/2024 14:16

Average time is 45 minutes by car, depending on traffic.

TheYearOfSmallThings · 31/08/2024 14:21

45 minutes if all goes smoothly (walk, train, walk).

EternallyDelighted · 31/08/2024 14:21

17-20 mins cross country by car. I really enjoy it, some lovely scenery and a bit of time to listen to the radio and get into work mode.

Jeezitneverends · 31/08/2024 14:22

15 minutes in on a bad day…but I can get home in 8 as it’s 2am and there’s nothing on the road 🤣

bergamotvetiverthyme · 31/08/2024 14:23

45 mins (walk kids to nursery/breakfast club, walk to train, train, walk to work). Thankfully nursery is nextdoor to the train station

My husband's is 65 mins in car

NeverDropYourMooncup · 31/08/2024 14:24

7 minutes by car.
20 minutes by bus.
45 minutes by bus when the schools are back if I can even get on the first 3.

JoanThursday · 31/08/2024 14:26

12 minutes if on my bike.

Otherwise a 10 minute walk followed by a 15 min bus ride (my bike can go where traffic can't!).

Bellevu · 31/08/2024 14:26

70-84 minutes by public transport

PrincessHoneysuckle · 31/08/2024 14:28

longdistanceclaraclara · 31/08/2024 14:29

For the mainline train, train, very short walk
