New figures show that a typical rail commuter will pay £2,440 a year compared to around £4,800 for the average Ford Focus driver. Even when splitting fuel costs between four people, the train still works out cheaper, according to new figures from Thinkmoney. The research shows that car owners who take the train could be paying hundreds of pounds more than necessary every year as they end up paying for both forms of transport. Despite recent rail fare increases, taking the train still works out significantly cheaper than commuting by car. The study looked at eight key commuter routes across the UK and compared the cost of an annual rail season ticket with the cost of owning and travelling by car. The average annual train season ticket across all eight commuter routes comes to £2,440, or 16p per mile. If you are paying monthly instead of annually, this brings this up to £2,808, or 18p per mile. The routes looked at were Preston to Manchester, Chelmsford to London, Durham to Newcastle, Bournemouth to Southampton, Derby to Birmingham, Swansea to Cardiff, Edinburgh to Glasgow and Weston-Super-Mare to Bristol.
