Take the train. It's meaningfully faster than driving, and the time saved usually justifies the price.

You'll arrive about 1h 7m sooner (6h 9m by train vs 7h 16m by car). Tickets start at around £107 compared to roughly £19 in fuel and tolls — so you're paying a bit more, but getting hours of your day back, a city-centre arrival, and the freedom to work or relax instead of drive.

Driving makes more sense if you're travelling as a group (where fuel costs split several ways), want to stop along the way, or need a car once you arrive.
