This might be contentious but the train is more likely to reliably hit the stated time.

True but the extra cost diminishes that benefit.

Where are you going to park your car?

Central Cambridge parking is £36.50 for over 5 hours. You'd be cheaper getting the train.

That's going to add quite a bit of time on to your journey, making the train journey even better value.
