The London → Cambridge run worked through — the ~60-mile M11 trip, fixed fare vs train for groups, and when the car is the better call for the colleges or Silicon Fen.

The route

Cambridge is about 60 miles north on the M11 — typically 90–110 minutes. The fixed fare is agreed up front and takes you door to door, past the park-and-ride straight to the colleges, the Backs or a science-park office.

Figures here are illustrative worked examples based on typical London pricing and journey times — your exact fixed fare is always confirmed at booking.

Fixed fare vs train for groups

One train ticket can beat a car for a single traveller, but trains price per head. Three or four sharing a fixed-fare car often match the combined fares — and you arrive at the door with the luggage, not at the station with a walk to follow.

Travellers	Train (per head)	Car (one fixed fare)
1	Often cheaper	—
3–4	Adds up	Often wins
Group + luggage	Per person	One price

When to choose the car

Groups, heavy luggage, a science-park or college start/finish, odd hours, or a missed connection — the fixed-fare car wins on convenience and certainty.
