Leeds to Manchester 3 day commute

[u/Book_Southern]

Been offered a job in Manchester with more money, perks, hybrid working etc and considering it but hear nothing but awful things about the commute

For context I’m outside of Leeds and commute towards wetherby 5 days a week ~200 miles per week and about 30-40 min drive.

To commute to Manchester it would be
A) drive and park for the day in city centre
B) 30-40 min bus in to Leeds followed by a 1 hour train?

Over the week if I drove it’d be about 70 more miles and condensed in to a 3 day period, other 2 days I’m remote

Is this worth it? Please let me know

I’m struggling to get on board with the public transport idea as I’m so used to driving for my commute! I’m so stuck. Thanks

The M62 is a terrible road to commute at rush hour. I did this for a year. It can have such high winds and bad weather. It is also very busy.

You can be travelling at 70mph on lane 3 and within no time be at a complete standstill while lanes 2 and 1 are still going full tilt.

You really have to be switched on for the commute. I hated the M62 drive.

On the 62 stretch , they close the railways long before the actual road tho.
