The is the only saving grace of the trains. It costs double what it would cost you to drive, but you have a 50% chance of a 3 hour delay, in which case you get a refund and the overall cost is about the same. Aside from the fact that they wasted 3 of your hours.

50% of the time they work.
Plus you can drink and train.
Oh and driving fucking sucks. 1.5hr drive is normally 3h because some cunt was looking at their phone and ran into some other cunt and now every cunt driving by has to slow down and gawp at two cunts and a third cunt with a tow truck.

Ha! Yes you've reminded me that for all my bitching it was something like £40 return for 4 of us after the refund.
Although they did initially try to only give a 50% refund on the outbound.

I've had an email notification from the train company informing me that due to the xxminutes delay to the the train journey I am currently on I will be refunded xx £s.
We haven't arrived yet.

If it was only double the cost it would be a bit more tempting. The delay refund is a bit less tempting when travelling with a small child. Get your money back but lose the will to live.

And when it's more likely than not something will go wrong.
Eg It's incredibly easy for us to get to Brighton - train to Farringdon, get off, stay on the same platform, get on Brighton train. Last time we tried it, it was an absolute cluster fuck with necessitated tubes and changes at alternative stations.
Would only drive now. Which is sad.
