gram 0 Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Theres a job I was gonna go for and the post code is NE65. Still want to live in Chester-le-Street cos the idea was to move back and be around my family again - not in the sticks of Nortumbria! No idea how far it is but is it manageable on a daily basis? I was just wondering. When I lived down south I did 40+ miles each way and it didnt worry me at all but there again driving past the villages of Suffolk is a bit prettier than the western bypass.

GeordieMessiah 2 Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 It depends on whether your job is worth the travel. When I was living in Leeds and working as a consultant, I'd have to travel all over the place - Birmingham, Cambridge, London, Middlesbrough, Ayrshire, Edinburgh, Hull - that can take it's toll after a while, but if you love the job then it's worth it. I've got a mate of mine who lives in Helensburgh, but works in Edinburgh (80 miles each way - by train admittedly, but must take about 3-4 hours a day travelling) and he's done that for the best part of 10 years. So it's do-able. Chester-Le-Street to NE65 is about 40 miles, according to Multimap - probably Alnwick area by the sounds of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasepud 59 Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 NE65 is Morpeth isnt it? 20-30 mins straight run up the A1 from Chester Le Street like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 0 Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 (edited) NE65 is Morpeth isnt it? 20-30 mins straight run up the A1 from Chester Le Street like. Provided there's no traffic, there'll be a fair bit over the Team Valley and Blaydon Bridge, though not as much as the usual Southbound hell. A guy at work does Bensham-Cramlington in about 40 mins.

catmag 337 Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 I have a whole 10 minute walk to work. My ex lives in Manc and commutes to Bradford every day. Was speaking to him the other day and they're relocating to Liverpool which will be a nice journey home of a teatime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj 17 Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 About a 10 minute drive at the moment fuck all really. The worst although it still wasn't much was when I worked in Gateshead and lived at Heaton, just a twat really the inconvenience of having to get the two metro's.

Gemmill 47572 Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 North Shields to Felling. About half an hour. I used to do North Shields to Billingham - twice a day through the tunnel. That wasn't much fun, and it cost a fortune in petrol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
