How long does it take you to drive to work

B Hill to T Wells, between 40 mins and an hour depending on traffic, used to drive to Heathrow everyday so it's a doddle compared to that.
West Hoathly to Falmer, anything between 50 minutes and an hour plus if I hit traffic ( 1 1/2 hours on Wednesday last week following an accident on the A27, followed by a road closed in Ardingly also because of an accident). Various routes to try but they all seam to take the same time and get busy at the same time (Ditchling village or Lewes both get long tail backs both ways). I avoid the A23 as I don't fancy joining the lets drive at 100mph and I'm only 2mm from the car infront so lets see if i can get any closer and bu**er the consequences club.
Sometimes I drive to Balcombe and get the train and then it takes about an hour and half door to door. It would be quicker from HH but its £5.20 a day at the station car park!
Not sure if driving is any cheaper than the train, should get better as Sussex Uni car parking charges going down from £2 a day to £1 a day from Easter.

This is too far....
0637: 81 bus from house to Brighton station
0700: Train to Victoria (change at east Croydon)
0816: Tube to Tottenham Hale
0845: 192 bus to office
Been doing it for about 6 months now and it's getting a bit much.

I've had a few different commutes in my time
Saltdean to Lewes - 30 mins on a motorbike
Haywards Heath - across town 20 min walk 5 mins push-bike
Haywards Heath to Brighton - 5 mins push-bike + 20 mis train + 10 mins walk
Burgess Hill to Epsom - 60 to 80 mins in car
Telford (outskirts to central) 10 mins in the car
The thing I found about commuting is how quickly I got into the routine of it all, the time was not a chore - it wasn't the commute that made me leave for my next job ....

Roz gives me a lift to the station, as part of a dog walking routine. Between 5 and 10 minutes from home to Glynde Station. Train to Moulsecoomb - 17 minutes. Walk to where I work - 7 minutes.
When the weather gets warmer, I might dig out the folding bike and take it on the train - BECAUSE I CAN and the government has very kindly provided a cycle track along the edge of the A27.

So the staff have to start that early to dodge the queues then ?

Live on one side of Gloucester and work on the other, takes me about 20 minutes door to desk at the moment, have done it in 12 when all the traffic lights were in my favour and there was bog all on the road. Moving to the same side of the city as where I work, hopefully, later this year which will cut my journey time considerably, mind you I will probably cycle instead.
