First job was about 12 mins commute - I used to do night so it was a lot faster getting there than back.
Current job: 2 days a week its an hour commute on motorway (which can turn in to 2 depending on traffic) and 3 days a week its 40 mins - both during school rush/peak times.
I don't mind the morning drive tbh, gives me a chance to wake up a bit, organise my day mentally and sing to myself lol
Used to be over an hour, sometimes 2 with signal failures despite living only a few miles from central London. Thanks BR. Train ride plus walk to Covent Garden.
Moved countries and had a 5 minute bike ride to work.
I worked between two branches of the same opticians for the past 2.5 years until December just gone. So it depended which I was working at ... one was about 35 minutes and the other about 15. xx
traffic bad where i am, 5min drive to take daughter to bus stop then 20min drive to work on way home & in summer it can be over an hour drive, it's 8 miles. I've ridden in the past but now i do bus/school run I can't.
Mines 20 minutes then a 10-15 minute walk from the car park .
In all honesty most of my life I have looked for jobs that don't have a long commute because I can't stand it. Although traffic around here means that a 20 minute drive can often take an hour or more in rush hour.
At our old house I could drive to my husband's office in about 15/20 minutes but he'd have to allow up to 1.5 hours to get the bus. It's madness x
I generally do 3-4 days a week in the office. I get up at 5:30, leave for 6:20/6:30. Take about 15 minutes in the car to the station and a 44 minute train and about 5 minute walk the other end. Coming back is worse and can take up to an hour to do the drive as there is a lot of roadworks/flooding my way at the moment.
If I’m going to be in the office it’s about. 25-30 minute car, tube or bike ride but if I’m out of the office it can mean going across London and back again multiple times a day.
20 minutes now before that I did 2 years sometimes an hour and half sometimes 3 to 4 hours due to the m6... got to a point my mum was putting my kids to bed more than me so that had to change!
1st job after uni - Didnt drive my dad used to drop me in town to get the bus for 7:30. In a car it probably was about half hour away. I used to walk home and it would take an hour.
2nd job - In the town centre - dependent on a bus would have to leave about an hour before just to make sure I was on time.
Temp jobs - I then did a few temp jobs most were about half hour away.( I had then passed my driving test)
3rd job- Working at the local hospital. Drive to car park about 20 minutes dependent on traffic, 5-10 minutes from carpark.
This job then moved towns so I took redundancy.
4th job- Took another job at the hospital same distance.
5th job - Down the road from where I live, although I have to drive my son to school so a detour of about 10 minutes. I would love to be able to walk him to school but would never get to work on time.
