Help!! How can I get to London from manchester Next tues cheaply!

[maxybrown]

Need to be in london for half nine ideally (am) travelling from manchester and returning same day/evening.

Can't find anything below £150 ish for a return and have £70 expenses - can anyone helo or am I doomed? Short of sleeping on the streets that is when i arrive the middle of the night

I looked at megabus for coach and that left at 5am eek!!

leaving at 5 ok but would have to be up at about 3 so not much point in going to bed really I can't not sleep all night - i will look shocking

damn it, I will have to give up I know it

lol no idea!! not something I do reguarly (travel to london) tis a one off!!

I just looked - thank you, nothing. Bah.

That's an idea - I need to post it on every subject on MN fiddlesticks. have to go out now. Might try asking people when i come back!! Only need to get there, could get a cheapy train home

try liftshare.com

ok have contacted someone on liftshare but need to let MN know asap if I can go so not looking too hopeful I bet there are loads of people going too - it's just finding them!!

Yes it is To cook with Marco Pierre White.

I'm not really worried about lack of sleep - but I will have to leave DS at my Mums so will involve me creeping about in their house in middle of night (they have never had him over night, think they might twitch!)

Oh what to do what to do. Oh and one other thing - they may be filiming it, i dread to think how haggered i will look

no up to a maximum of £70 travel expenses.

Is there not a later megabus? They run throughout the day from Leeds. Could you get to Leeds?

I sound like I am making lots of excuses!! no can't get to leeds.

It's someone to have my son overnight. My parents are not round the corner from us and DH would have to leave for work at about 7.15am so no one to have DS - unless I stay at my parents with him then leave from there. That is only choice really. Damn it!!

Where is best place on MN to do "is anyone driving to London from Manchester next tuesday" request?

Justa thought but if your expenses are up to £70 can you not pay a little bit extra?

He is a teacher

I haven't got another £70 no!! Cheapest train I can get is £150 return

If you get a train early 5am and come back after 7pm its £89 and if you travel done over night on train and back after 7 pm £66 virgin trains

Have just seen on virgin I can get one for £87......just need to sort DS out!! I will have to stay at my parents with him - I am just worried that I will be waking everyone up at 3am to get ready. I am not sure how my parents would be tbh My Dad still works full time but that seems most feesible option
