Commuting Brighton to Sutton

[Wodewick]

Mansfield sounds like it's up north.

Well spotted that soggy damp area

I believe the 'Mans' part of Mansfield is due to be dropped as part of the Government cutbacks in the North.

Whole parts of the North will just become fields again.

Mansfield isn't in the North, its East midlands.

Taking a car through Sutton, Cheam, Croydon, etc is like trying to drive through custard.
I generally try to avoid that part of 'that London'

[Paddy]

Train to East Croydon, snooz on train
Three mins on the Tram to West Crydon grab a coffee
Train to Sutton read Metro

All about 1 1/2 hrs

or sit in car and crawl at 5 mph for three hours

What are you like at cycling? You could get a train to East Croydon and then cycle to Sutton? It's only 4 miles.

This would definitely be quickest and keep you fit as well.

I live near Sutton, I can't speak for north-bound traffic on the M/A23 in the morning or southbound in the evening but it's going to be madness getting from the M25 in rush hour.

5,2 miles. Stopping at lights etc it will take at least 30 mins. Tram and train is 25 mins

When I were a lad it were ALL fields!!

They should grow some potatoes.

Cyclists stopping at lights? Yeah, right!

[Sockpuppet]

I'd drive it. Get a decent sat nav you can program a good route into and choose the smallest least congested lanes you can to get from Brighton to London.

Either that or get a motorbike.

Brighton is a tiny little village in`Cornwall
Sutton (in Ashfield) is a bigger place near Mansfield

They are apparently 300 odd miles apart which is circa 5hrs.

All I did was type Brighton and Sutton into Directions in Google Maps, as a favour as you were too ******* lazy to do it.

The difficulty with the solution being I had no f*king idea where you were or wanted to be. If you hadn't been such a lazy *rse you could have JFGI yourself and possibly got a more useful answer.

Thanks for that.

Remember the Google route does not take into account time spent in traffic jams, so although Google might say it is a perfectly feasible commute assuming you'll be doing 60 mph down a long stretch of road, in practice, if it's in the southeast, it might actually be more like a 5mph speed limit.

Seeing you helped, me, it's only fair I help you.
