I suppose it would depend on what the norm is for office you have transferred to.

First of all the official business position is that you can only take a van home if there is no available parking for that van at your DO...obviously it's a rule that isn't followed very closely.

As for transferring it will depend if you have received ETE payments, obviously if the business has already paid you excess travel to cover the cost of your relocation they are hardly going to supply you with a van.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

Yes. We have loads of walkers being dropped off and the driver goes back to the office.
