Driving is more controllable as if you take the train AND tube in SE you are likely to suffer some type of delay on average twice a week. Granted you will miss most of the problems if you can get to Clientco early."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

Originally posted by LondonManc View PostI left the house at 4:30 this morning to get the 5:05 train from Manchester to London Euston. I'll stay over 3 nights and head home on Thursday evening, working from home on Friday. I know someone who commutes from Macclesfield to London daily but his company provide him with a first class season ticket (he's a perm, NLUK, don't have a coronary!). No chance I could/would bank roll a daily commute of that magnitude and if you're not doing first class I would imagine it would get too much for you after a while. Don't forget to including getting from Paddington(?) to wherever the London office of your client is in your commute.Public Service Posting by the BBC - Bloggs Bulls**t Corp.
