    Sorry, it was Monday I visited I was going to go Tuesday but then I saw the information about the strike so chose another day

    Parking at Virginia Water

    Yea that's what I thought. I was amazed by the price. £6.50 all day £92 a month (if you have permit) £200 for 3 months £650 for 12 months Unfortunately all permits are only for renewals. There is a waiting list with 6 people on. So I'd be number 7 if I go on it. There are two station car...

    Parking at Virginia Water

    Stop being thick ;) Good question, my original plan was to go Bracknell->Virginia Water and then Virginia Water->Syon Lane. However, obviously there are potential issues with two trains then, e.g. if one is delayed then I miss the connection and have to wait 20-25 minutes for the next train...

    Parking at Virginia Water

    I saw that you can park for £6.50 for the working day at Virginia Water, and around £90 for the month. Can anyone tell me how likely it is to get a space at around say 7-730am? Also, I can buy the monthly ticket and that's it, I don't need to pay every single day or pay and display? I'm...

    Commuting Bracknell to City of London - double my salary...

    It's a cyber incident response role, dealing with public sector companies, international governments and some big businesses. I don't believe it's the sort of job where you're suddenly in front of a client. It's more technical stuff to help them with a cyber attack. There will be a bit of...

    Commuting Bracknell to City of London - double my salary...

    Martins Heron -> London Terminals = £3652 (via Staines) ... WITH a travelcard = £4520 I was thinking that I could go Martins Heron -> Waterloo Waterloo East -> London Bridge on overground That is a 15 minute walk then to Bank ... not too bad and good exercise. Probably the same as waiting...

    Commuting Bracknell to City of London - double my salary...

    Thought I'd reply separately to you as you actually use the line I am. Yes you're right, a train every 15 minutes from Martins Heron which is where I'd get on. The same coming back at peak times. If I turn up at Waterloo and a train has just left, then I am obviously likely to get a seat as I...

    Commuting Bracknell to City of London - double my salary...

    Thanks for your response. I did the commute actually on Friday but as someone pointed out to me - it was a Friday and so it was quieter and also it was just before a BH, so possibly even more quieter than normal. I could do it again on Tuesday morning if I take the morning off work, but the...

    Commuting Bracknell to City of London - double my salary...

    Oh and my plan was to do this job for around 12 months and probably look to use my new experience and skills to get a job nearer to home. This job is a great opportunity mainly as it's a chance for private sector experience which I lack, and it's why I've struggled with being offered any jobs...

    Commuting Bracknell to City of London - double my salary...

    Hi, I've been in the Police now for 11 years, and I'm in a specialist role dealing with Cyber Crime and Cyber attacks, helping big companies deal with attacks, etc... I have 30 more years till retirement - aged 65 and I know there's not much more left for me in the Police. So for a while now...
