The act of undertaking work elsewhere than the 'normal workplace' has been variously termed teleworking, telcommuting, homeworking and remote working in a research literature that now spans a number of years.Of greatest evident interest to transport research and policy has been the removal of the commute brought about by working from home.Attention in turn has been given to the present and future extent of teleworking, taking this primary travel demand benefit as a given.There has also been examination of secondary or indirect travel impacts of working from home with concern that these may offset the primary benefit of reducing travel.With a fast changing communications culture in the workplace driven by email and the Web, coupled with wider Internet access from home, this paper seeks to draw attention to whether the primary benefit or impact of homeworking is any longer as straightforward.It does so by broadening the interpretation of homeworking to encompass the notion that an individual on a given day may both work at home and in the 'normal workplace' such that the commute is not removed but may be temporally displaced.An Internet-based survey has been used to secure insights regarding the pattern of working in time and space of a sample of 1014 individuals drawn from the British labour force.The research finds that for this sample, more than twice as many individuals practiced part-day homeworking at least once in the chosen reference week compared to those who practiced whole-day homeworking at least once during the week.The paper examines this finding further to establish to what extent and why such homeworking may result in commute displacement.
