My understanding is that travel to work does not count as "work" when you are travelling to your normal place of work. Thus, if you are office based, work starts when you arrive. If you are required to make a site visit, travelling to and from that site IS work (assuming it's further away from home than the office).
If you are employed as site staff, the site is your normal place of work and thus travel to and from site from home is NOT work. This applies even when the actual site changes. Conversely if you are called into the office (perhaps to be congratulated on your excellent work?) then that IS travel.
You may work at several sites. For example, a social worker doing outreach work or something (and the normal place of work is not the office). Travel from home to the first site is not work. Travel between sites is work. Travel from the last one in the day to home is not work.
We owe the dead nothing but the truth.
