Hi there,

Where do you commute from and to, what time do you travel in and out, what mode of transport do you use and how long does it take?

I may be working on St. George's Terrace and the thought of Iluka to city on the train fills me with dread (no loo )

We have started househunting in Nedlands, Cottesloe and Wembley Downs as I'd rather drive or catch the bus.

Cheers anyone.

I live in Connolly and my husband gets the train from Joondalup and it is about 50 mins door to door. Train is 25 mins from Joondalup. The traffic in from those places can be awful in a morning plus you have hassle and cost of parking in the city.

http://www.transperth.wa.gov.au/ has a good journey planner. Put in your address and work address and it will plan your journey to work.

My drive in from the east, roughly 28kms, takes about 30mins and 35-40mins the other way.

Similar for me. I go from Currambine where there is loads of parking at about 7am.

It is about 30 mins on the train which I don't mind as I put my mp3 player on and chill or sometimes do some reading. The traffic on the freeway looks horrendous most mornings - you need to leave by 6.30 to get a good run. Work provides me with free parking but I couldn't face the queues.

PS There are toilets and Currambine, Joondalup and Perth stations and probably the others too.

Oh thanks for that, really helpful. Is there a train that misses some stations or is that only wishful thinking? I've only used the train once with the children (for something to do!) and it was very clean. Stopped at every hole in the hedge, but then it would!

Also, what would the parking be like at about 7.30-8am - no chance at Currambine? I'll be headed along Burns Beach Road from Ilukaville.

Thanks so much, very helpful.

Where from?

Nutbush City Limits.....

In rush hour every second one misses Glendalough and Leederville. There are also some that run Whitfords-Perth all stops.

It is always clean and punctual (but at 4 minute intervals that hardly matters)

From Joondalup what parking there is has gone by about 7.15 - you can park in the basketball arena car park but I wouldn't fancy that at night. No problems at all parking at Currambine - always loads of spaces. We were in Duncraig for 3 weeks on arrival and found parking at Warwick station was full at 9am.

You are quite right, that sounds great. Especially after my last commuting days were on the tube (some time back I should add!)

Where is Bal56, not seen him around recently.

I did see a post from Brian recently. He just passed the 2 year mark out here and was supposed to be organising a to celebrate.

I've not been about much on here, perhaps that's why. 2 years - us too, back in March. Amazing!
