I used to know people who would commute by train to London from Bath and Bristol. Every day. And others who would drive from central Wiltshire to London and back. Every day. Work from home should have highlighted the insanity of those kinds of work patterns. Trains are greener than cars, but no commuting at all is greener still. Unfortunately it's looking more like we'll be heading back to pre-Covid normal, with very limited mixed-mode working offered as a bonus to those who qualify for it.

> Unfortunately it's looking more like we'll be heading back to pre-Covid normal, with very limited mixed-mode working offered as a bonus to those who qualify for it. Is it? Everyone I know with an office job has greatly expanded home working options. Most of them were previously 100% in the office, and now have the kind of 1 or 2 days in the office a week hybrid options that used to be exclusively for tech companies. And quite a few individuals I know have been able to go completely remote only having to go into the office a few times a year and have been able to move cities entirely.
