    Getting to like the train

    Used to hate catching the train (takes longer, smelly, sweaty people).

    Been getting the train for last few months. 10 mins drive, 50 mins train, 10 mins walk other end.

    Had to drive this am. Trains cancelled etc.

    Rain, traffic, accidents on the motorway, finding somewhere to park. Feels like I've done a days work already. Missed my 30 min kip on the way in I must admit.

    Never going to moan about train again.

      Hahaha oh PC you make me chuckle, it took me 4.5 hours to drive home Friday as the original Severn crossing was shut due to a lorry accident which didn't surprise me as the weather was awful. Still I enjoyed my drive comfortably in my beamer so I wasn't bothered. When I'm down here I get the bus Tue-Thurs I hate it, it's crowded and smelly and takes an age but it's more cost effective than using the car and paying for parking.

        When I finished my London gig last year and started a relatively gentle commute I really missed my daily commute by train. Far less productive now too as tend to get up later and do less work when home.

          When I was commuting into central London I found ways to enjoy it (could doze on the train etc.) now my commute is different I find ways to enjoy that (can take things in my car so I can train lunch time etc.).

          I find it is more about mindset than anything else.

            As much as I'd love to commute here on the train it's just too much trouble, plus the prices they ask are ludicrous
