My tupence:

If you are frequently getting into work late then leave earlier.


How much earlier? I generally allow around 30 mins "recovery time" which I
think should be more than enough but one signal failure/points failure/leaf
on the line can soon use it up, making me late. If we all allowed
sufficient time to cope with absolutely all contingencies, it probably
wouldn't be worth coming home each evening at all and we'd just have a
sleeping bag under our desks!

Please bear in mind, also, that many commuters are also parents of young
children and CANNOT start their journeys until the nursery or school is open
to care for their kids.
