| Commute Home <-> Walk <-> train(euston) <-> walk <-> tube <-> walk <-> work Time required if everything work correctly ~ 1h 10m to work ~ 1h 30m from work, (more since you dont want to miss the train) Now, a single cancelled/missed train for me is +30m, happened at least once a week due to faulty train etc. In addition, these things happen all the time: Is the tube delayed today causing me to miss my train? +30m Is it hot summer week? expect almost everyday to be cancellations of 1h+++ Someone trespassing/ hit by train, cancellations of 1h+++ Signalling problem, cancellation of 1h+++ Fire next to track cancellation of 3h+++ plus more
Many days I have spent more than 4hrs just to get home. Now this 2h 40m commute easily averages out to 4h |
