Distance from work to home?

How far do you travel to work and how long is your journey there and back?

Bored enough to do it in Google Earth. 19 miles each way, 1 mile walk, 20 minutes train, then another half mile walk on the end. The train is only £2 return so not too bad.

In total (walking, waiting for train, on train) etc normally just short of an hour each way.

I have two jobs; one is a 5 minute walk, the other is an hours drive...

ah right, that sounds kinda harsh- or perhaps I'm just being a bit too restrictive in my latest job hunt.

I work all over the country. Could be working in Essex tomorrow, Cornwall the next day. Still I do far less travelling than I used to, which is good seeing as now I have to pay for it.

It's about a mile or so, always walk to and from work.

Bit of a walk, but it's near enough not to be worth getting a bus. I'm moving in about two weeks, so I'll be about 10 minutes away on the train, which is nothing when this time last year I was doing a five hour round trip every day till I found a flat down here.

It varies how far it is, but normally takes me about an hour end to end in the car.

About 4.4 miles each way. It takes about 10-15 minutes to walk from the medical centre place to where I have to work. And it takes about 15 minutes to get from where I work to the hospital. (Medical centre & hospital are 2 different places)

It takes about an hour to get there and an hour and 10 minutes to get home.

7 miles each way. Normally takes me an hour on the bus thanks to Oxfords fantastic traffic and then a 10 minute walk.
