Hello,
Just wondering if there are any NHS workers who work in London but live, and commute from, up north. I have a fireman friend who has put the idea in my head as he does it but works his hours over 3 days but gets free accommodation at the fire station (central London). He said his train fare is less than the fuel he was putting in his car each week (as his previous job was 80 miles round trip). His pay and pension will now be worth more.
I'm wondering what options there are for NHS staff as I am currently in a job 100 miles away but work from home part of the week. It's costing me to stay over in hotels and I have started sleeping in the car. My children are grown and I have no-one else at home to worry about. No parents/no siblings. And, I love London and spend a lot of time down there anyway.
Issue for me is the cost of staying down there but I also know places to stay that are out of central London that are cheaper.
Just wondered if anyone did this?
