New data reveals train commuters spend up to £2450 more a year than car-owning colleagues

New data from CarMats.co.uk has revealed train commuters could pay almost £2,500 more than car owners to get to work. This comes as train fares are set to rise by almost six percent from tomorrow (March 5).

This rise will see train fares become the most expensive they have ever been in the UK. The bespoke carpet and rubber vehicle mats company  looked at some of the most popular commuter routes in the UK and found travelling by car was the most cost-effective way of travelling.
