This is an old rule which, when they enforced it, we got round quite simply. We just went to work on the way. Then we claimed HtD, unabated mileage, the extra allowance as the journey time often went over time.
Bit of a p*ss*r at first but ultimately no real hardship as my typical route to work - 25 miles - passed within 4 miles of the main gate.
If it was pure 25 miles in the wrong direction then it would extend your working day by 50 miles - couple of hours - push you over the 11 and into a night stop.
