  • How do I find out what line I would need to use to get into Manchester from the place I am staying? This jsut gives links which isn't informative. It needs more than that eg, enter where coming from and the site suggests the best ways of getting to the city. It would then work for the user; it doesn't as it is.

  • What is the cheapest and easiest way to travel fairly regularly to London? What kind of deals are available to students?

  • The cheapest way of travelling from Manchester to London doesn't involve a train, unfortunately. My student daughter uses a cheap bus company. The easiest way is to pay Mr. Branson a lot of money to use his trains.
