Theres a slight difference between moving to stansted from gatwick
than say moving from upminster to neasden. The latter sort of distance
is what most people would consider a reasonable commute.


But only if it's what you signed up to in the beginning.

If you take a job on a transport system in a city I don't see whats
unreasonable about being expected to have to travel to different places
every day within that city.


So a bus driver who takes a job at the Romford garage (because he lives
in Romford) can be told that suddenly he has to report for work in
Croydon?

In another life I was an on site engineer and I had to travel around
the south and the midlands and be at customer sites first thing in the
morning.


But you knew that was the deal when you signed up.
