Taxi Cheaper than Trains?

It is cheaper for four people to go from High Wycombe Train Station to Marylabone train station by Taxi than by train.

A single trip from high Wycombe costs £16.50 for one person.  By Uber it costs about £40 on average but the car has room for four passengers! If there were four passengers they would only pay £10 each. 
This info is based on my own observations and access to my Uber App. I believe this is true of many other stations.

To the Coast

It's cheaper drive to the coast from most cities in Britain than to take the train.

My findings are based on my own experiences. For example two hours of dual carriageway driving in my car gets you about 100 miles and a uses ⅓ of a tank, that works out as £12 in each direction. Two hours of driving will give you access to quite a lot of the Sussex or summerset coastline from London and the Thames Valley. Most train tickets to the coast cost more than £20 in each direction. Most cars have 5 seats so you can take the whole family with you.

If you have a hybrid or electric car then the difference in price is even greater.
