I have to spend £120 on train travel into work for a 1 hour meeting.
It's my own fault - I chose to live 125 miles from work - but it grates that I have to travel at a peak time this morning because a meeting was scheduled for 11am. Off-peak is 'only' £50 rtn.

That is a huge distance!
If I took the train to somewhere 100 miles away my journey would be 4 hours there. Fit that into a working day!

Eevr thought of moving closer? Or do you do much from home?

I used to live 5 miles away from work.
That meant spending an unfeasible amount of money living in London though. Swings and roundabouts. I usually only do the commute once or twice a week.
