You'll arrive about 1h 34m sooner (4h 30m by train vs 6h 4m by car). Tickets start at around £67 compared to roughly £67 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.
