I admit I thought the train would cost a lot more than that site
suggests. £16 each way is not excessive and it only takes 2 hours to
Waterloo - mind you it only used to take that long in steam days so no
improvement there. It wouldn't be any quicker going by car and there
would be congestion/parking charges to add in.
Getting to the local station by bus is another matter, I'd have to
use the car for that to be certain of making the connections :(
