5-6 hours on a train every day just sounds crazy. if they're prepared to match the pay at your current place, personally i'd stay there for the time being. 8 hours work and 8 hours sleep per day leaves 2 hours free for your own time after that commute. IMHO it's not worth it.
Do you really want to spend 1/5 of your day in a train? It will destroy your social life, 8 hours you sleep, 8 you are at work and 6 in train = 22 hours so it leaves you whopping 2 hours for everything else. 2 hours is not enough so you propably start to sleep less and that will turn you into a zombie - you look like shit…
yeah i commuted from north london to leamington spa for 3 months. I didn't actually mind it. I got up at 5 am and got home at 8-30 pm. No wonder people thought I was bit cranky there he he. suffice to say it didn't work out there. anyway good luck, you had a close escape form coventry there:)
Ruz - Have you not seen the Oasis shopping arcade? Or around Edmonds No. 8 (Eddies) on a Saturday night? Unless things have changed. It's been a while since I made an excursion. As for the choice... I decided to stick it out in Bristol. I've made so many sacrifices to get to this point, to walk away just when the pay-off…
