Forty quid? b*****ks
Standard off-peak, walk up to the ticket machine, buy it on the spot, no faffing about with special fares, single is £23.30.
Doubtless a lot less with a couple of lifetimes invested in finding the best deals.
And the train's a great deal quicker.

The one-way train fare from London to Southampton is £23.30 (or £24.30 in the morning peak). If you're travelling after 1000 Monday-Friday or at a weekend, or if you're under 25 or over 60, you can get a rail card entitling you to a discount. Trains take about an hour an a quarter, and run at least every half hour.

I stand corrected, one doesn't use trains after reading of all these delays, what a ghastly affair.
However, is it really befitting for one who is travelling on the world's largest ferry - whose interior could not be any less imaginative or more vulgar in demonstrating bad taste - to use a train? I think not
