I'm commuting from Coventry to London, staying in London Tuesday to Friday with a 1.5hr each/way commute whilst in London (staying with my brother).

It's fine.

Hampshire and London are in different timezones now?

It would appear so.

No but from similar schemes that always result in the majority of the benefit going to the larger location.

HS3 across the peninies from York /Newcastle to Manchester / Liverpool makes a lot more sense on an economic basis

The UK badly needs a Northern powerhouse.

Pretty much every contract I have is like that as I live in Hull and have a wife and 3 kids who I like.
It does wear you down very quickly. If I'm forced into 3-4 days a week it'll be stay over on Monday and Wednesday night. Always WFH on a Friday...the extra traffic on Friday is never worth the hassle.

In my experience of humping it around the M25 most days, Monday is the worst. Friday is a bearable 1hr20 commute for me (it seems a lot of people work from home on Fridays) but the same commute on Monday is 1hr45 to 2 hours.
