Wow you must love your job to be paying that much to get to it!Parking ~ £800

Me I could work from home full time but pop into the office a couple of times a week to stop myself going mad which probably costs £10-20 fuel.
Mine is about 5% of net pay.
I hate travelling with people, so having to pay anything to commute by train would be too much. I wouldn't work in London for any salary. I live in Northampton, so assuming work is a 10 minute onward walk/tube from Euston, that would still be 1.5 hours door to door. fk that (plus the season ticket is about 3x the amount cited in the article).

I swore to never work in London.
But I got offered a job for money I couldn't say no to.
I bought a Motorcycle, cost me £1700 - Can sell for £2200 all day long.
Servicing myself at £60 per time average every 5-6k
Insurance was £300 for the year
Fuel from Newbury and back is approx 15-16 quid a day and I go in maybe once or twice a week at best.

Many will be paying more than 10% of net ... Reading to London zones 1-6 = £5024 a year in standard class. Still, at least you get to stand for the entire journey for that modest sum Rail season tickets cost 10% of net pay
