Having not taken a train for years Its become a viable option now on cost.
Just come back from London £119 return (2 adults and 2 kids).
If we drove up it would have been about £55 fuel, £35 parking, £15 congestion charge/ULEZ.
For that little bit more it was worth it to relax and just under 2 hours.
Same sort of costing when I went to Stanstead airport a couple of months ago.

Bristol City away next week £13.50 all day return just for me.

yeah that's not terrible. still think it should be cheaper.
if it wasn't for parking and congestion charge it'd still be cheaper to go by car.
the Cardiff to Paddington train seems to take more than 3 hours according to the latest timetable, which seems longer than it used to be
