Commuting by car advice

Leaves at 5 in the morning and get home at 9 in the evening

Cripes!!! I thought I had it tough. I leave at 5.40am and get home at 8pm commuting from Brighton to Tottenham by train. Fortunately I only do it 3 days a week now.

And cost, It cost him £16 per day in fuel, He would rather not drive but there is no real alternative. Leaves at 5 in the morning and get home at 9 in the evening. He can't get a room for that money hence the commute, what would a train ticket from Hove to Southampton at peak times.

£26 for a daily anytime ticket, but a weekly season is £61.80 which works out at £12.36/day if used five days. A monthly season is £237.40 which works out at £11.30/day if used on 21 days.

I would have thought you could find a B&B for not much more per night than the £20-£30 it'll cost to drive each day. Put a value on your time in the car and commuting that distance isn't worth it. At my work in Shoreham we have people doing the weekly commute from as far away as Norwich!

You could try the lift share website to see if someone else is doing the same journey. I do a lift share from Worthing to Crawley and it saves about £100 a month.
