Commute distances

[The Hitcher]

25 ish Miles each way, not great but it’s not too bad, rarely can be bothered to do it on the bike though.

TMBF legends, thanks for your replies, I'm not being made redundant, 3 others didn't make it, I really hope things pan out for them.

So my endurance fix won't be commuting it'll be mile munching next year to Colditz Castle.

Pre Chinese disease I was commuting from Ipswich to London 80ish miles each way. Anything is doable with the correct mindset and good kit.

A fifteen minute walk, and I still drive there

WELL .... all depends on what you class as a commute.

It's Thursday .. I've ridden on the mighty Himma to work each day this week.

I'm based in Rotherham;

Monday .. Burton -on -Trent.

Tuesday .. Derby.

Wednesday .. Newport, Wales.

Thursday .. Preston.

I'm stopping overnight in Preston as we had a long day.

Friday .. Preston, Harrogate, Rotherham.

Most weeks involve a round robin between ... Newcastle, Derby, Bournemouth, Bristol, Dartford ... once a month Edinburgh .. Every 2 months ..Inverness.

It's my commute ....

What the hell you do?

[skyrider]

thats a fair commute on a 400 traily

[Trooper74]

We're "On the Rail "

I survey and observe testing of traction control systems on passenger rolling stock and on track plant ..

Here's one we did earlier ...

I'm the Design Authority for the equipment we install .... which in real world terms means ... Me and Mick design the systems, with help on the software from Alex, Chris and his team install them, and I sign them off as safe back into traffic ...

No pressure then ...lol

Prevert.

If you've ever travelled on one of these ... ( 2 x 220 Voyagers "multiple working" ) ... ??

It doesn't slide through Red signals or over run the platforms because of our automatic traction control systems .... we spray sand in quantities dependant on speed between the wheels and the rail head ...
