It's not me. I already live an hour from work.
55 mile to the office for me, 40 min drive - that's enough mind I've been offered others further away but that would mean more home office or stopping overnight
My department got outsourced and they wanted to move but under TUPE rules they could only move within a 5 mile radius of the current location. I don't know if anything like that might apply to you.
If I was a low ranking employee who was easily replaceable*, A or B.
If I was in management or higher I would consider C or D
B might be the best though if this business is the way forward for your career
*anyone is replaceable but you know what I mean, a successful and experienced senior manager is harder to replace
Lets say you live in Sunderland and work at somewhere you can get to in 10 minutes on your bike or 5 mins in your car.
One day your company decides they are going to move to somewhere that's an hour away.
This means you can no longer cycle to work, and you are going to have to leave home an hour earlier and get back an hour later each day, which will impact on your life outside of work. You're also going to use loads more fuel and put loads of miles on your car, not to mention wear and tear.
What would you do?
A) Look for a new job
B) Move house to be closer
C) Agree, but ask for extra payments to cover fuel/car bills
D As C, but ask for extra pay to compensate for losing your free time.
You missed E
Call in your union and get everyone to threaten strike action because terms and conditions of your work have changed. When you sign a contract it should stipulate what area/office you are reporting to.

That's a canny average speed that mind
The additional miles will be roughly 13,650 based on average 35mph for 45mins twice a day. The UK mileage rate is 45p for the first 10k and then 25p for subsequent miles, so the cash equivalent is £5,412 on the basis the additional miles are paid for in accordance with UK tax rules for business miles.
It would then depend on how much the person values the extra cash over the increased working day commitment and fuel costs which would be lower than the above.

I live 2 min from the highway, office 2 min off it, general clear road so a steady 150 all the way - people still go past me like I'm stood still
@Frijj this fella wants your crown

No speed limit? Jesus
I've never even hit 85
Weigh up the current salary against your job skills and the market place.
I certainly wouldn't move for an hours drive to work.
If they want you they will likely pay you.
