London -> Manchester?

[GeekyLynn]

What's a cheap way to get from London to Manchester, and back again?

As little as �3 return. 

Train takes only 2hrs 17 mins in the week and with a YPR it can be only �20.

National Express costs around �20 but is consideably slower than the train.

Thanks acw - that's perfect!

You're welcome! :-)  It's a route I've done a few times, and I must say I think the trains are excellent.  Not so amazing in the week, but at least they go from A to B without going via the rest of the alphabet in between!!!

Safe journey! :-)

georgit79 - Thanks so much, but I'm way the heck out in San Francisco at the moment.  I was asking this question for when I fly to London in a few months.  :)
