Commuting advice rugby to derby

[rugbean]

Hello everybody
I have searched the net in vain with no luck so hope I can get your opinion -I have been told the commute up the M1 from Rugby to Derby is a nightmare and I am deciding between regular daily car commute there or train to London for studying. I would trial run it myself but with lockdown not sure Ill get a realistic picture so could I ask your opinion based on normal non covid times.
