Good luck with the new job, hope it goes well. By the way, what do you do with your cycle on the last couple of minutes walk down the road, do you leave that in a cycle rack at the tube or something?
Thanks Daisy!
I live in a commuter town outside London. So I park my bike underneath the station viaducts in a cycle rack. Our station is a bit odd to be honest as it's a continuous bridge all the way through the town end to end. I think it's where the down dips towards the centre.
Hoping to move into London at some point in the coming 12 - 18 months.
I go out of the back door and walk down to the garden shed, that's where I work.
Same here, it's an absolute nightmare at times, especially if I or the misuss haven't picked up the dog poo for a couple of days,
It's terrible getting up at crack of 10am, having a cup of coffee and a quick 'rant' on the forums, sometimes I can't get into my shed until midday,
but then other times I am still in there at 2-3 am,
I get out of bed, walk a few yards to my study, then start work.
I generally stop off in the kitchen first to make a cuppa. Truth to tell, I would prefer to have a normal job where I actually meet people, but I try to make it as much like a proper job as possible by sleeping with my secretary.
8 minute walk to the bus stop, about 10 minutes on the bus and couple of minutes walk the other end. I always leave almost an hour to get to work though.
Rather dodgy, as I have to walk past all the 'travestis' of Avda Indianópolis.
You get some interesting 'scenery' on your way to work then!
The girls say they can not walk alone or in groups because drivers stop to address them. "It's common to see transvestites nude or just panties. Before there were at the schoolhouse door, but now straightforward," said Camila Santos, 19, a student of 1st year.
Mines a 25 minute walk, passing through a cemetery and then across a playing field. Fine going to work although a bit spooky at 10 o'clock when I come home and the field can be an adventure in the dark because not everyone picks up after there dogs, luckily I have avoided that but I feel its only a matter of time.

Your welcome, thanks for the information.
I have been watching the BBC2 programme on monday nights, The Tube, great programme to watch but you do see people sometimes using cycle racks outside some of the stations but not all, thought that's what you did. In other parts of the country, the trains are not as manic as the tube and people take their cycles on board with them where there are cycle racks just by the doors. Going by how busy LUG is, I think you must just about get yourself on board never mind your cycle:)
I do a split shift so when I first go 2 work in the morning it takes about 12 mins but when I go back again at 2pm it takes about 20mins as the roads are slightly busier.
2 hours each way. Drive-walk-train-train-tube-tube-walk. Done it for over 10 years now so kind of second nature, but can suck sometimes.
Wow. I don't think I could do this, and for so long. The 1:30 thing has been going on for 3,5 years now and it's really bad for my levels of stress. I feel like I barely have any of the day to myself.
5min walk to train station & about 25mins on the train.If i was to get the bus (which is a last resort) it would be a 5min walk to the bus stop & about a 40 - 50min journey.
45 minute drive, first 15 mins is unremarkable but then followed by a drive down the River Clyde to the "tail of the bank" with views over the mountains of Argyll and Ben Lomond, then a drive past the empty shipyards of Greenocks ship-buolding heritage, followed by a final 10 minutes of unremarkable housing scheme commuting till I reach the back end of Greenock / Gourock..I have the option on a sunny day of a slightly longer countryside drive through the winding single track roads of Renfrewshire and Inverclyde. sadly I have been doing the commute for so long I seldom notice the scenery
My hubby works in same building and drives (he goes on visits a lot so car has to be there at work) so if weathers bad or im running late i go with him, other than that i put my joggers and trainers on and walk (we have showers at work and i keep spare work clothes there)
I start at 8am but like to be there for 7 so i can shower and have a cuppa before i start.

One is a walk though a my housing estate into some woodlands then back into another housing estate then into town.
Another is drive across town (all town stuff)
Another is... well let's get into that one.

Now it's a 35 minute walk each way or just over 20 minutes door to door (a 10 minute walk, 2 stops on Tube)
read the paper and sleep
