Overall though, it's expected for recruiting for some technical roles, there is a big skills shortage out there.

I understand what your saying; I myself live in Blackburn and work from home, yet the company I work for is based near newport pagnell which is around 200 miles and I was head hunted specifically because of my specialist skillset.
I went to two interviews, a techncial interview and a second with the MD.
On both occasions I travelled down the night before and stayed in a local hotel to ensure I was fresh in body and mind!
It didn't even cross my mind to ask for expenses, nor would I, as I think it would quite frankly be rude and viewed in a dim light.
That said if it's the norm in the specific industry, why not!
