Twice round the world by train for Reevoo
I just realised I forgot to celebrate my second Reevoo birthday.
So to make up for that I just worked out (not very scientifically) that in the 2 years 2 months I’ve been working at Reevoo, I’ve travelled almost twice round the world by GNER train. And that doesn’t include my travel on London commuter trains, tubes & buses…
Distance from Durham to London Kings Cross = 232 miles as the crow flies1.
Journeys per week = 2
Number of weeks (excluding holidays) = 48 + 48 + 8 = 104
Total distance travelled = 104 * 2 * 232 = 48,256 miles
Earth’s circumference = 24,901 miles according to About.com
Twice round the world = 2 * 24,901 = 49,802 miles
Anyway, I’m tired and that was tricky maths, so I’ve probably made a mistake. Probably time to go to bed.
