How long commute brighton to london

Most of the people around me are relishing the enforced solitude between home and work. Many read books. The commute is almost certainly the last bastion of the British publishing industry, the saviour of the novel. The way back home is different. Fatigue and darkness take a toll. I try to do the crossword, or read a magazine.

The trip seems longer, home and dinner seem too far away. And after a night out in London, the distance seems to expand exponentially. Sometimes I doze off and, waking up, look closely into the eyes of my fellow travellers for any sign of alarm or resentment to suggest that I have been snoring.

Once I was travelling back to Brighton opposite a cartoonist from this paper who fell asleep as I was talking to him, his head drooping to one side, as if he had suddenly been hit by a stroke.
