(09 Sep 2015, 7:19 pm)aureolin Congrats on your job. The travel isn't too bad, as it'll only take you about an hour? Metro can be busy depending on what time you finish, as you have all the St Mary's and Civil Service traffic, unless you fancy walking to Four Lane Ends station instead.

(09 Sep 2015, 7:26 pm)Malarkey Sack the Metro I much prefer getting the Bus to be honest, at least I know it will actually show up albeit a little late, got the option getting the 52/54/X7/X8 & X63 all of which stop right outside the front door to Sitel.

(09 Sep 2015, 7:45 pm)Dan I can get to work in just over 30 minutes (depending on the time I go which determines which bus I get from Gateshead), providing the Metro section of my commute is with no disruption. The connections don't work half as well on an evening as they do on a morning, so usually takes 50+ minutes.
It really is a killer day in, day out, so I'd hate for my commute to be an hour or more in each direction. I avoid the Metro as much as possible on a weekend now as I have at least five hours on it in total during the week.
Even though it will be a lot more expensive (especially given that my travel at the moment is free), I can't wait to be able to drive to work in my own car. The advantages definitely outweigh the disadvantages. Hopefully just a month (two at most) to go, assuming I pass my practical first time...

(09 Sep 2015, 7:52 pm)MurdnunoC And you won't look back, free travel or not!
It will also make appreciate the odd journey on public transport a little more as it becomes a novelty rather than the norm.

(09 Sep 2015, 7:51 pm)aureolin Driving to work and parking is great if you have the facility to do so. For me, I'd have to use City Centre car parks, so it'd cost me a good 50 quid a month just to park.

(09 Sep 2015, 8:04 pm)Dan Definitely.
I was up at the Scottish Vintage Bus Museum last month and another bus enthusiast was asking how I was getting on in my (still fairly new) job. He asked whether working within the public transport industry and having to use public transport in peak times to get to work has affected my interest in the hobby, and I think the answer is probably obvious! I'm fairly sure it's primarily because of my commute on public transport though.
