Its all about booking early, were going to London from Carlisle for 20quid one way in April, the next day the tickets were 100quid and will keep going up. Its shocking to be fair.

Shocking isnt it, its 60quid just to get from where i live to Leeds. But if you book 3 or 4 months early you get them dirt cheap. Last min trains are a piss take.

Will cost £5 one way (Cardiff to manchester interchange), You will need to change trains at manchester interchange to get to manchester airport though, The change train shouldn't be much, a quid or 2 maybe?

Came in to say this.

It's scandalous how expensive rail travel is in this country.  I am getting the National Express to the HHA for £13 return from Bradford.  But 5hrs 30 mins each way on a coach is violent

I used to use train line, But never found prices as cheap as megatrain, Only prob with mega train is they only do some stations, Not all uk stations so you have to go to the nearest one and then get another train to your destination, Unless your destination is one of the major uk stations lol

not when you add parking fees to the bill lol... manchester airport parking fees for a few weeks would more then mess that up ... Cant see how £10 train fare is more expensive then driving.

Megatrain is only useful if you want to travel at obscure times during the week. They never have anything for a Friday evening or a Sunday which makes it useless for weekend trips.


I'm a big advocate of the National Express coaches. I got a Friday- Sunday return to Cardiff from London for £12.
Takes a bit longer but it saved me over £60. They have a wide choice of departure times as well.
I used to get returns to Sheffield for less than a tenner when I was going visit Tim before he moved down. The train would have been over £80 eeek

If u can get £10 train fare from cardiff to manchester go for it but thats sounds oddly cheap. I pay £21 to get to London from just outside London.

I've only ever used it on fridays, Saturdays and sundays, It was 3 years ago now though so maybe they've changed? On saturday I went on train, sheffield to London st pancras to pick mrs up from heathrow, Then on the sunday we got bus back from victoria station (Think that was its name). Cost me £20 in total for me, Spot on.

Out of luck on that date, They only have buses, Cheapest price to get to london on their bus is £1 there and £1 back, So £2 return. Aint bad if you don't mind a bit longer travel ! About 3.5 hrs travel each way
