Cries in 80 minute commute to work and 100 minute commute home. And that’s driving. When I was talking the train it was around 150 minutes each way.

Only in America does the train take longer than driving.

Nah. Germany has the same problem.

I know it’s shocking, but not everybody online is American.

British my friend, home of the worst trains going. To be honest though the reason for the extra time is because it includes a 15 minute walk to the Metrolink (LRV) then 30 mins to the town centre. Then the train followed by another 15 minute walk to the office.
