You'll arrive about 6m sooner (2h 5m by train vs 2h 11m by car). Tickets start at around £35 compared to roughly £26 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.
