My commute when I have to do it is terrible. I have to get up before 6am to be in the office by 8, and that's if there's no traffic. Public transport here is so shit that if I miss the one bus every single one after that is full and won't take more passengers. And I won't talk cancellations, or course.
Then leave work at 5, pray that the bus is not cancelled (they have multiple cancellations per week) and pray that I can be home before 7.
But yeah, I can always sell my home and go to Dublin where I can pay over twice for an apartment half the size.
Apparently I'm lazy though, so there's that.
Oh, and the government just told us that the other bus that takes 3h each way is a sound alternative. Or you can drive, of course, and spend 100 quid a day in parking fees.
Edit: all of this to do the same work, with the difference that when working from home I usually start early and finish late, whereas when working in the office I arrive on time or slightly late and finish on time. And of course there's no checking the email at night, because if flexibility is gone, so is me being bothered after hours.
