FAO Wrath Commuters

Morning,

I've been offered a new role in London, which is a great job and a step up the ladder where I would need to be in our London office 3 or 4 days a week.

I have worked out the cost and I am already familiar with the journey in my current role (although only once a fortnight or so).

However, my biggest concern is - will it kill me?! How do others find it? Will it wipe me out for anything else during the week?

In terms of comparison I currently have a 30-40 minute drive straight into the office in Norwich and for the new role I would be getting the train from Diss to Liverpool Street, followed by a 10 minute walk to the office.

Thanks
