I made the train journey to London over night the past two days with one change of a shirt for a meeting. The train up, contrary to many things I have been told, was straightforward and easy even to the underground in London. The journey back was a touch more complicated as I had to change.
The big surprise was the cost. £185 for an adult off-peak ticket. That is £100 more than going by car and exorbitant. The cost of a meal for two was £30 and since I eat at home for less that £5 a day – maybe a touch more for the organic smoothies I make for myself – that makes London way too expensive for my meagre income. The trains were very noisy as well. When I go back in a couple of weeks I will drive. It is worth it when staying a couple of days.
