    I'm thinking about doing a course with FAS, the only problem is the distance from the training center, it's about 35 miles. I know I will be entitled to Training Allowance, however that won't cover the cost of commuting. I've read about Travel Allowance - is this thing still on? I have an appointment with SW in couple days, but wanted to know how likely is that I will get it, and if there are any other options worth mentioning.
    thanks!
