[Mancie]

The west coast service is pretty good now that most of the work on the tracks has been completed. if you travel out from london after 9am and before 3pm costs about £50 ( other than these times its more like £150!)

the service from preston to/from Accy really is a joke, always only 2 coaches and sometimes really packed with day trippers to blackpool.
sometimes your better off travelling to/from Manchester and getting the bus.
