When a Taxi Beats the Train and Coach — Honest Leicester–London Economics

handshakeHonest 3-Way Comparison

For solo travellers into Central London the train (Leicester → St Pancras ~1h 5m, advance fares £30–50) is usually quicker and cheaper. A pre-booked taxi is the better choice for airport transfers, groups, late-night journeys or heavy luggage where door-to-door convenience matters.
