Hi!
I am starting college in September to study my A Levels in a place that is quite far away from home and which nobody from my school is going to (this is completely my choice). I wanted to hear other people's experiences with travelling to and from college on the train that is quite far away, since this is something I will be doing.
So, this is what my journey will roughly look like:
- A 20 minute walk to my local train station (or 10 minute bike ride if I'm feeling it)
- A 10 minute train journey into town
- Around 10-15 minutes waiting for my next train
- A 20 minute train journey to my college's station
- A 2 minute walk from the station to the college
So, all in all it will be around an hour to an hour and a quarter - which doesn't seem to long in comparison to other people's journeys. However, I currently go to a school that takes me three minutes to walk there, so for me it will be quite a difference.
So,
How did you find it?
Did you find that you were tired at the end of each day?
Did you find use of your train journeys, eg. typing up an essay on the train?
Since it's usually rush hour, did this bother you at all?
Did you ever find yourself becoming travel sick?
If anybody could share their experience, I would be very grateful!
Thank you all
