[quote][i]Originally posted by Kyle T[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by Kyle T[/i] Leg 2 of my Epping trip wasn't too bad. Out of the office at 4, at Bank tube station for 4:10, in Epping for 5 and had an hours' head start. Still have to deal with Cambridge traffic but cutting out the Dartford crossing was nice. Was an accident late on the A1 which proper fucked me so didn't get home until 9 - but can't do much about accidents I suppose! Done some maths, seems insane... but next weeks idea: Monday morning: Drive to Peterborough (2 hours and don't need to deal with Cambridge or Dartford) Train into London (£55 return) Do some work Train back out to Peterborough. Drive rest of the way to accomodation in Gravesend, will take a couple of hours but I'll be in no rush, monday night. Work Tues/Wed/Thurs in Kent Thurs night drive up to Peterborough, again no rush as it's a thursday night. Friday, get train from Peterborough into London (£55 return) Friday night, train up to peterborough and then drive the "easy" leg of my journey. Means I only have to deal with Cambridge and Dartford on monday night and thursday night, the crunch time commutes should be relatively easy. This works out marginally more expensive to the company than simply getting the train from my home town all the way into London, but means I get my car midweek which is critical for the dullsville I'm staying in @ Kent, but also I get to pocket the fuel expenses. Over engineering this? :lol: [/quote] This worked pretty well last week. 5.30 departure on Monday, At my desk by 09:30 and that included the slow (cheap) train from Peterborough. On Friday night, left my desk at 4pm and was home for 19:45, again using the slow (cheap) train. Doing it again this week, got a really nice AirBnB out in Kent but after looking on sparerooms there are some really good options there too - so may shop around next week. Cheers dudes :thumbs: [Edited on 03-10-2016 by Kyle T] [/quote]
