I get to work by Tube each day.  The train journey itself is at least 45 minutes, depending upon how the system is working.  I also have a fifteen minute walk at either end of my journey.

Is it long? I spend two and a half hours a day travelling to and from work and I only live in London, so I expect you might call that "long".  I don't mind.

Is it boring?  Not really, although it can be very crowded.  I read on the train - newspaper, book, Bible, sometimes do work.

Is it relaxing?  It can be.  I fell asleep this morning and woke up just before my destination with my head on someone's shoulder.  Never set eyes on him before, and he wasn't there at the start of my journey!  So I guess I was quite relaxed.  And he was very charming about it (no, I didn't get his name or address).
