AIBU to ask about you commute time?

[passthepotatoes]

I was just wondering how long you and/or your DP/DH/DW spend each day commuting to and from work if you don't work from home.

Also, how do you travel to get there?

I work from home most of the time, but if I go into work it's 25 mins walk to the station, 45 mins on the train and another 20 mins walk at the other end.

I don't drive to the station because it's too expensive and not enough spaces anyway and it's better to walk. I sometimes cycle.

A 40 min walk sounds fine - and I'd definitely consider cycling in good weather.

Before dd over 1 hour by train getting there at 8.30. Involves two or three trains

Me; 45 mins if I get the train, 60 - 90 minutes drive/park and ride

dh: 45 mins on train.

15 mins walk and then a 30 minute train. Reverse on the way home

Now i have a 5 min drive or if its good light a 15 walk across a racecourse

Dh: 5 minutes by car
Me: Varies (I work at 5 different schools. Nearest is less than 2 mins on foot, furthest is 30 muns by car.)

A journey that should take 10 mins by car takes between 40-45 mins in rush hour each way.

Me- 45-1 hour by car depending on time of day/traffic
DH- 25 min walk, 45 min train, 15 min tube/30 min walk depending on need to be in early. If not in a rush he walks.

It depends on where we are going. For me to London is 1hour 30 mins for the full journey including car, train, tube and walk. My husband it may be 15 mins to local office, an hour and a quarter to London office or driving/flying all over the place to meet with clients.

7 minutes for me by car

Me - 10 minutes by car (including parking and very short walk), 25 minutes if I walk the whole way; which I should do more often if I wasn't shopping, running errands etc after work.

DH - self employed so completely varies - today will be a 7 hour drive home through snow .

DH and I both have 1.5 hr commute each way - 60 mins on train and 15 min walk either side

45 minutes bus or 25 minutes bike. Or 15 mins walk to station & 10 mins on train. DH is a 5 minute drive

1hr 45 each way - drive train walk = have better ways to spend that time

Thank you everyone for your input, appreciate you taking the trouble to reply.

I do currently walk 20 mins so it's doubling it. I do enjoy it and as someone say it's a head clearing sometimes.

Might invest in a bike and do a bit of both.

1.5 hours door to door each way. Car, train, tube.

Unless there is a delay. Like there is at the moment......

Mine depends on the site.
Without traffic: site A: 50 mins. Site B: 70mins driving

With traffic: site A: 1hr 30. Site B: 2hrs minimum.

It was rare that I had it without traffic.
This was before DD and one reason I chose not to go back

Me: about 3 minutes drive
DH: about 3/3.5 hour drive so he lives away at his work location Monday-Thursday.

According to the timetable it should be 58 minutes from door to door, from suburbs into London, approx 18 miles.

But thanks to fucking Southern Rail it can take anything up to two hours. It sends me into a rage most days.

Your commute sounds lovely, even the extended version 😀

About an hour 30 mins when in office
Bus 20-30 mins
Train into london 30 mins
Tube 10 mins
Bus 10 mins

0 mins today as working from home

In years gone by, 1h 45m - 2h each way by car, train & tube.

Now 5-7 mins by car .

DP: 15 minute walk/ 5 minute drive on lazy days

Me: 26.5miles each way = 35minutes at 7am and 35-40 minutes at 5.30pm

90 minutes each way on motorcycle.

0 mins when WFH

Me: 15 mins cycle or 40 mins walk (depending on weather!)
Dh: 15 mins cycle followed by 1hour train and 5 mins walk

30 second walk
5 minutes on a bus
10 minutes on a train
2 minutes walk the other end

With train waiting times about 20 minutes all in - which is approximately the same amount of time it took by car (lost my drivers licence 4 months ago due to illness - it sucks).
