cheekyemma

hi there does anyone know of the cheapest way to get from london to liverpool? I am planning a day trip there with my sister, we are going to the Klimt exhibition but ive been looking at the trains and the price is just ridiculous! obviously its the quickest way but we just cant afford to do that! any suggestions?

Hi you can get a return train ticket to Manchester mid week on Virgin Trains for £14, then just get a return ticket to Liverpool from Manchester.

Try Megabus or a fun fare on National Express or an E-ticket on the train and pay for Manchester to Liverpool separately either by traain or coach

If you book in advance the train fares can be much more reasonable - as it's on to the end of August maybe look a bit further ahead?

Avoid weekend rail travel as well - engineering work disrupts the schedules and they offer few if any cheap tickets.

Don't forget National Express as an option it's about £40 for a return to liverpool from London.
