    National exprss, trains not coaches, site HERE gives a good idea of what is available on a chosen date. Input your details, then click on the price range boxes. The 10:48 & 11:48 to London shows as £93 for all of you. Various prices back, from £48 early morning or after 8p.m.

    If you go on the virgin site you can get an adult single for £8 leaving 12.48 and a single for the way back for £8 leaving london at 10.15 or 11.15

    Are these are good to you?

    Have you tried the Farefinder on TheTrainline?

    http://www.farefinder.thetrainline.com/Default.aspx

    I can see tickets for £16 return for the dates you want, or try the Mobitix link on Virgin Rail's website.

    http://www.virgintrains.co.uk/specialoffers/default.aspx

    This link is busy at the moment but has fares as low as £1 each way from Manchester Piccadilly to London Euston. Just hit the Special Offers link and it's the first option.

    brilliant responses thanks the farefinder site looks good but wont entertain my request of any times near it when i try to book, my ideal times are 11.48 out and 14.02 return the national express link looks good about £100 cheaper when i choose the 12.35 return train. Is the change at Crewe much of a problem or a simple hop off and change trains /platforms ? 6 adults (one pensioner all women) Am i doing it right for the virgin and farefinder sites ? do i need to have a promo thanks for you help

    See my post on the other thread you asked on. The change at Crewe will probably be a different platform but it really isn't a problem, even for pensioners.
