It is,it's that the pushes me over the edge, I'd rather drive for a bit longer.

Worse is the walk back, seems to take forever to get to the car.

Distance: 8miles
Duration: 15mins no traffic up to 1hr if M4 is screwed.
Then 1mile walk.

That's still better and faster than taking the train.

It was annoying enough when I worked at one place and contractors weren't allowed in the company car park. Had to do a 2min walk round the corner, which if it was raining would get me wet enough to have a shit day, dunno how you guys manage

45 min (26mile drive) to the edge of the city. Then I park up and have a 20 min walk down the waterfront to my office near the city centre.

I love walking and driving so it dosnt really bother me

Depends - I don't have a fixed place of work and mainly work Overseas

To our offices (27 miles) it can take between 30mins to 1 Hour, depending on the time of year/traffic

In the recent past I've done over 1500 miles in a week, but then I've also done less than 75 in a week before too - All Uk work


I had to drive from mine to our offices in Poole, Dorset then back home to pick some stuff up and then to Galashiels, Jock Borders for a single day visit to a site earlier this year... 470 miles one way.

Thats an extreme example though TBH

About 15miles and a normal day it's between 45-70 mins. I tend to try and avoid the really heavy peak times, but with going through the tunnel (which costs £3 a day ) and my route being right through the busy part of town it's hit and miss

I get to WFH on a friday though which makes up for it a bit
