I'd still rather be in my own car, with my own tunes and not have to mix with the hoi polloi.

All that road tax and fuel duty that goes to subsidising public transport is worth paying to be in your own private space.

I find that
driving there and back in my car works out cheaper and quicker than taking the train one way.
If I need to carry more than my phone it is always more convenient.
Public transport needs to have just one thing that makes it better than taking your car, especially if there is only one person travelling. It either needs to be more convenient, cheaper, or quicker.
It is none of the above.
If I wanted to go from Bristol to London right now on the train, it would cost me £34.80 one way (Super off peak single, Selected off-peak trains) and it would take two hours and involve a change. If I drove there and back it would cost £20 and take an hour and a half each way. If I filled my car with other people we could get there and back for just over a fiver each.
The most expensive ticket (first class, any train, any time) would cost £154.50.
I could get a return flight to Spain, with luggage, for less than that...

There are so many other reasons why train travel is shite too.
If you want the cheapest train tickets you have to go on a specific train which gives you little flexibility if plans change/meetings run over.
I don't have to stand for the entire journey in my car whilst busting for a piss.
I've never had to sit in my car with the stench of sewage seeping from an overflowing toilet.
I don't have to get out of my car to change into another car, or take a fucking bus for part of the journey.
My car doesn't go on strike, and there is no argument over who is allowed to close the doors.
I don't have to hold my farts in.
I don't have to try and avoid making eye contact with a pissed up, cross-eyed Glaswegian opposite me on the phone to his missus telling her not to let the social take their kids away...

My car doesn't leave me and my better half stranded at Haywards Heath at midnight
because it has decided to go to Eastbourne instead.

Steamed?
It appears I am unfamiliar with this practice and the googles come up with too many results when the words steam and train are mixed in a search.
What happens when `de yout` steam a train?

My car has never hit a fox so hard and got so fucked that it was unable to move for 3 hours.
My car can drive over leaves.
My car can drive through a moderate amount of water.
My car is capable of navigating faulty signals.
My car doesn't have a shit sitting in the back seat constantly trying to flog me mars bars.
My car's wifi doesn't need all my passengers to provide their email only to grind to halt at select times and then have me email them stuff about how great I am.
Fuck trains, fuck trains..fucking, fuck trains!
