    The best I can find using Advance Singles is £77.50 return changing at Crewe and Stockport each way.

    An Off Peak Return is £81.60.

    £4.10 buys you flexibility and a quicker journey.

  • You could try this;
    Edinburgh Wav to Manchester Pic Oct 3rd 14:11 Advance single £19
    Manchester Pic to Stoke on Trent Off Peak Return £12.90

    Stoke on Trent to Manchester Pic Off Peak Return £0 (return part of off peak ticket)
    Manchester Pic to Edinburgh Wav Oct 5th 18:16 £19 Advance single
    Total £50.90

    Just give yourself plenty of time to catch the train from Manchester to Edinburgh at least 45min, Advance tickets means you must travel on those trains detailed, Off Peak return tickets means you can travel on any off peak trains
