How far do you travel and how long does it take you??

Ive never worked more than 10miles from home and it takes me about 1/2hr.

Interested what other people do as im trying to decide whether I could put up with an hours train journey/50min drive on top of that for a job ive seen.

thanks

 

Used to do 70mins each way.

Now do (literally) 3mins. 10mins if i take the scenic route through town
If the job is worth it, i'd go for the extra commute.

I used to enjoy it sometimes, clear my head in the morning/chill out.

 

13 miles 15-30mins traffic dependant.

 

10 min walk atm .... soon to be 1/2 hour on a bus. dont know how people manage to do more than 1/2 hour, must seem like you never get time at home with all the travelling

 

100 miles each way is the worst journey i have had, but normally about 60 mile 1.5hrs
but thats construction work for ya!

 

18 foot. Into the other room.

 

used to be 1 and half mile...now its a 3 foot walk to the kerb outside my front door where i get picked up..get lovely lie in every morning aswell

 

25 miles normally 30 mins, today slightly longer, Van roof rack appearing in your headlights on the road infront when your.......errrrrrrrmmm motoring (unlit motorway) means you aint getting a straight run to work Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

 

3 mins by car; 1.2 miles.

leave at 7.55 will ensure i get to work, unlock, lights & PC's on, kettle on and sat at my desk by 08:00

 

between and hour and and hour and a half..................depends on a few things

 

12 miles - takes me 20-30mins. Its a nice drive along the motorway with minimal traffic or hold-ups

 

My work depot is 35 miles from my house 50-60 minutes

Then i drive hundreds of miles for 9/10 hours

 

5 minutes or 30 minutes if I hit the school run.

I wouldn't want to do an hours journey, I get mad if i get held up in the school run!

 

around 7000 miles and 3 days for this job, will take me 4 days to get home this trip though get off at 12 midday on friday and arive home around 10 in the morning monday

 

40 miles each way about a hour been doing it for 10 years just get used to it

 

if I am working from our head office it is a 20 minute walk otherwise a 2hrs train each way to london or a 2 and half hour drive to northampton to the warehouse

 

Quite a wide range on here so far then!

It'd be 50ish miles, about an hour for me.

Dont know how long id have the patience for that. The motorway is a shit one, theres some proper rough areas to drive through and then there's the traffic of Greater Manchester (although its only a few main roads from the motorway).

 

18miles 1:10ish boxy traffic !! lol

 

30 miles - takes about 30 mins to Exeter and then 30 mins to get across Exeter!! Pants!!

 

0.9 miles.

Couldn't handle any more travelling than that every day!

 

12 miles, takes 20 -30 mins usually

Surly if its a job you feel like you will enjoy the drive to work is no big issue,

I drive for a living sure the roads get busy and sme people really dont hav a clue how to drive but at the end of the day dont let it get to you,

 

2 miles...can take anything from 5 mins to half hour depending what time im starting

if its a job you think ya gonna enjoy long term then go for it! ya never know where it might take ya!

im a service engineer so can vary drastically every day.

worst is the arse end of cornwall or say dover that will take nigh on 4 hours to get to. then do 6 or more jobs and drive home...

unless im away over night etc.

 

mine is 26 mile and takes just over an hour (and really annoys me), although used to take 2 hours some times,
crewe to redditch???

 

If it involves driving on the M6 or M62, fuck that! Unless the job is worth the aggro of sitting in all that crap on there.

I travel 3 miles and it takes me 5 minutes at 10am, or 40 mins at 8am. So I go in at 10am!

 

5 miles and takes between 15 and 75 minutes. Fucking schools.

 

In the same position, live bout 10 miles from work at the moment and thinking of getting a new place which means I would be 45 mins to an hour away from work.

 

My job is around 4 miles away as the crow flies and it takes me 10 minutes to get there through town traffic.

50 miles would be a bit much for me. Did a 35 mile journey in the past and that was more than enough.

It's all well and good taking the job, but will any increase in pay be offset by higher fuel costs? If so, then is it worth the extra effort for no benefit?

 

ellie i sometimes have to be in mcr for before 10 am and have to battle my way along the 56 then the a6 and its a right pita most times, i would try the journey by car and remember if you get the job you probably will want a diesel.
just sold a chick a diesel clio cos she works in mcr and lives in mancot and needed around 60mpg to save wasting money.

 

when i worked in the centre of bath i was commuting from swindon, that would take about an hour by car to do 35 miles. 25 of which were motorway...

got a motorbike and it then took about 40 mins. best i done was 24mins lol

i did get wiped out tho one day... not my fault either!

 

Service Engineer here to.

Anything up to 3 hours drive to the first job then do jobs in that area and then have the drive back..

But like today was only 15min drive to get to job..

Weird when I was in an office job I use to wanna be on the road. Now iam and after 3yrs I wish I had a short drive to work in the office then short drive home at the end of day..

 

as im only in the market for part time work while a student then i wont travel more than 10-15 miles as otherwise its not financially worth it with travel costs these days.

for full time i will go further but again costs are important. Whats the point in paying out £200 a month in travel costs unless your earning more than that on top of what youd get locally or the job has much better career prospects????

 

unemployed at the minute, but last place of work was 7 miles away, eight minutes is the fastest i have done it in

 

I work 23 miles away
and depending on traffic it takes about 35 minutes to get there

 

10 miles in 25 minutes. 15 minutes during school holidays

 

I live at work normally, so all of a matter of seconds

The wife drives 1:30hr each way can be up to 2hrs depending on traffic
