I wouldn't do it.
3 hours driving per day just to get back/fro from work is madness and stressful. Unless this is a short term thing I'd either change employment or move. |

Did it for six months during the appalling winter of 1986/7 and swore after that never again, utter madness

Live in Croydon
Work in Portsmouth 3 hour driving commute each day Any one of those would be enough to make a person slit their wrists. Your daughter must be made of granite. |

Did it for 17 years. There were compensations that softened the drag.

I've mentioned before someone I worked with who commuted from the Isle of Wight to Bracknell (and back) every day.
Ferry to Portsmouth; train from Portsmouth to Reading; another train from Reading to Bracknell; bus from Bracknell station to the office |

It did get her down ,always complained about the hogs back on A3 ? She was young and ambitious then but is paid very well now.

I did it for 6 years. Conti shift pattern, so not every day and not always during rush hour. 85 miles round trip, about 2 and half hours on road. Took vol redundancy last year and immediately got new job just a mile from home so I can now walk to work. Pay is a lot less, but working hours and lack of stress make life far more enjoyable.

I have to use the A3 a lot, it can be very unforgiving.

You do it because you have to and when you don't, you stop. And live longer. I don't listen to a tenth as much music though. Which is a mercy given today's crop.
