london to brighton to london to brighton.......
Hey folks.
i have a question.
do any of you lovely internet entities travel in your more mundane corporeal form from brighton to london and back in a commutey type fashion for work? it's looming on the horizon, i'm wondering, what's the craic? will it drive me mad as a bag of wasps? will i leave the house at some ungodly hour and return at an even more ungodly one? will i find myself leaving for work before i arrive home? i've done the maths and it kinda computes, so that's fine.. i'm more wondering about the actual travelling time.

I think undulating tentacles does. Gaz him. National rail is also a good website option

I've done the trip on the road and in a shitty train-shaped tin of misery.
Clearly neither was overly pleasant. The trip on the train cost about £24. On the road, maybe half that. Dirty bastards.

i mean in an IDEAL world, i'd sashay into a design job in brighton, like i owned the place. in the real world, i'd get laughed out of interviews and should be grateful for the incredible luck that's landed me a half decent design job i'm in now. if only it wasn't in fuckin west acton.

I did
Swansea to Cardiff for a while - commuting sucks, I'd avoid it

A mate does this.
It's pretty grim - the journey time isn't too bad but the trains are always heaving at peak times, I am told.

it beats reading
i hear hull's nice too.
everyfuckinwhere's nicer than reading. london prices, but fuck all to do that doesn't involve chain pubs, relentless shit music, and drunk fighty chavvers. including the festival.

I like Reading
purely for when an Asian cab driver went to me and my mate "don't try doing a runner lads, this place is Curry Town and we'll get you".

Not done it personally
but I know a few who have. Apparantly the run into Victoria / London Bridge is fine so the question is how will the travel be once you get into town.
