35km or 25 miles, roughly an hour each way by bus and train, when I'm not working from home

Gives me plenty of time to read the forum on the train and as Nick said a nice chance to unwind on the way home. No point trying to plan my day, my role is pretty reactive ;)

About 10 minute drive to park and ride then 15 minutes on the bus
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

About 20 minutes to work on a good day - 5 mins to station, 10 minutes in the train into Wellington and 5 mins walk to the office for me.

Define work.

Reminds me of the celebrated conversation outside a government building in Prague in the old days:

Tourist:  How many people actually work here?
Czech:    About half.
I don't drink coffee to wake up. I wake up to drink coffee.

6 mile bike ride each way that takes about 20 minutes, depending upon traffic lights.

Mine's rather similar to Techno's, but less rural.

Get woken by the mithery dog, stumble down to let him out for a wee before he goes in the house, then stumble out in my dressing gown and jim jams to let the chickens out and put their feed/water in, then back inside and cup of tea for Ms. Pixie and getting dressed, then back down to the extension and my laughingly described as a "work" bench to start painting talking to customers on the phone!

Actual time from waking to working is probably twenty mins still, which is a bit rubbish on a 20ft commute :D

520 feet, to the main gate, my office is just past that, so 580 feet (measured on google earth)

Before I moved departments the distance from the main gate to my office was 660 feet.  Officially I am at work when I knock on the gate.  :d
I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

Reminds me of the South African joke, just before the first open election:

F. W. de Klerk, five minutes after coming out of a coma in hospital: What do you mean, you let him out!?

More to the point, they let me out in the afternoon.
