if i can be on a train with a little walk at the other end, i might go a little further afield for the right job - maybe 45 mins.
that said, i work from home full-time at the moment, with the exception of a quarterly trip to edinburgh where the company is based.
ultimately, what's your time worth to you? personally, i begrudge travel on my own time and the cost of it needs to be factored in. i remember working out the cost of changing from a work-from-home position to an office job years ago, and i would have needed something like 20k extra to compensate for the extra childcare and vehicle running costs.
