Have to get accessories such as locks, helmet, and lights.
Biggest fear is getting run over by a car and sweating a lot when I get to work.
I have no experience of this, any advice and support appreciated on other things I need to consider.
Do you have any hill's to climb?

Is there security at the train station? (Bikes are easy to steal)

What type of roads are you planning to ride on?

What is your body build?
The journey is at most 3 miles, all on the road, there are some hills but nothing too high.

There is security at the train station so it should be OK.

I am skinny and short but fit unlike Mark TKO who is fat, tall and ugly.
