Or maybe just put it off the road and use it when you can afford it again.

As above.
45miles, 90miles round trip? That must be one hell of a job you enjoy?
At best that is 2gallons a day? Here is some shocking maths for you:
Two gallons @ £1.30 per litre = £11.70 a day.
Say you drive to work 5times a week, that is £58.50 a week.
£234 every 4 weeks.
£3042 a year, just travelling to work. Add tax, insurance and the general wear and tear....
Train!?
Edit: That maths is for a car averaging 45mpg (which a HDi will just about do) so could be more expensive if a different car.

Trains ain't cheap either.. Gotta factor in bus costs too and from station. Public transport is s**t imo.

A year train pass won't cost 4k.
It's not about what is more comfortable/easier. Its about what he can afford.

You know what Tom? you are right. But before I jacked my car in I would be crawling around on the floor looking for change  I have properly scraped the barrel before to keep my car running before, its a hard thing to give up .
