Yes, in the royal borough of round green.Originally posted by Doggy Styles View PostHmm. I've had opportunities in Cambridge but was unsure about the commute. I live between Dunstable and Tring, so I'd have to add hacking my way through Dunstable and Luton to your time. Do you live over the Stopsley/eastern side?
You would hack across Leighton buzzard and pick up the 421. Again can be a pain. If it's south west Cambridge then ok, if it's north east fergerrit.

Do you live over the Stopsley/eastern side?Originally posted by suityou01 View PostVery variable. Lets take Friday as an example. Broken down truck in Hitchin causes tailbacks on the 505 back to Putteridge. Eventually reach Hitchin station and make the 9:22 train which thankfully as all trains are at Hitchin was delayed by 4 mins so I just made it.
Then two stops outside Cambridge the train broke down and we sat there for 20 mins while they fixed it.
So this day the commute was 2:05.
It can be as little as 55mins driving of 1:30 on the train. It has been up to 3.5 hrs driving.

Given that it's less than 40 miles and you're supposed to be in training for L2B I'd have thought you would cycle it.Originally posted by suityou01 View PostVery variable.
