 Posted: Thu Jan 01, 2009 5:40 pm Post subject: The big commuting question |
 |
|
Using the "Tucker Method" of not having any initiative and not being assossed to figure it out for myself, I thought I'd get this new part of the forum off to flyer.
So, on Monday I start me new job, and have to go to the village that is generally accepted to be a pit of the cess variety for a couple of months. That London. Specifically the cultural highlight known as Euston.
The burning question is do I get the train from Tring to Euston or from Stoke Mandeville to Marylebone.

get the fast one from SM - by the time you get to Tring Station any time advantage is negligable.
Thanks

No, they have some big projects and HQ and other offices are in that area; care to share what you're working on, then? Just interest.

Yeah I know, my old boss wanted me to go and work for them, but sod that.
I thought I had shared - M25 DBFO (various bits of widening and the operation and maintenance), for Balfours. Should be entertaining.

You're full of s**t - you couldn't possibly be widening the M25 on your own. |
