Yes, because... Rail travel is cheaper
With the ever increasing rise in fuel prices, it is difficult to tell when it will ever stop. Car users are shelling out more and more money to pay at the pumps for their petrol and feel bitter having done so. Travelling by rail means that you do not pay to fill up your car, only for your fare and do not have to concern yourself with where to park your car or bike and do not have to pay for the pleasure: particularly trying to park in London. Perhaps travelling by train makes us all better off in the long run.
This really all does depend on what distance the rail commuter is going and what ticket they buy. A traveller going from Birmingham to London Euston, one of the busiest routes in the country, would pay £123 for an return fare by rail, whereas if they were to rent a car with a friend for two days, including fuel and the congestion charge, would pay £57.79 each(1).
