Re: Train Cost
If you are going awat to University in September, you'll definitely need a Young Peson's Rail Card.
When I reached 24, and was no longer eligible, I started getting the coach up from London, but soon changed back to the train because of the ease. |

Re: Train Cost
When I took the train up a few weeks ago it was 12.50 quid one way. It made it up to Manchester Picadilly in just over two hours. But that was during the week.

Re: Train Cost
I find the singles are cheaper, preston is sometimes cheaper than piccadilly. I need to get to London sometime this month and I cant find any cheap fares for a family of four. a Mate of mine flew to heathrow, £36 each way with bmi. Another option is VLM airways (- VLM Airlines) who fly from manchester to london city airport, they can be quite cheap as well!

Re: Train Cost
Considering the distance and the short notice for a ticket it is a good price. People may knock the prices but I have used trains back and forward between Falkirk and Accrington for nearly 17 years. My ticket cost was £22 when I first cme up here yet the price is £26 for a round trip. So all in all it isnt too bad the costings. Alls it needs is a little planning and and no fixed travel times ie between 9-6 and they are as cheap as you can get.

Re: Train Cost
My sister is over from Australia, and her husband has been commuting between Berkshire and Lancashire, and has found it far cheaper, and convenient flying, he has flown from Suthampton and Heathrow, with a company called Flybee a Manchester outfit I think, the only problem is the trip from Manchester Airport. We still seem to be in the dark ages regarding a good link from there.
