And before he points out that it's easier for him to get Birmingham Airport, these trains also call at the adjacent station where parking is cheaper than at the airport.

It's interesting, almost psychologically, that people only quote the fuel cost of using their car. And that they are commuting at the same fuel economy as on a long journey (not helped by quoting that in mpg but buying it in litres) After all, at £400 for 20k miles, your tyres are costing...
