Flights from north west to edinburgh?

Hi, i'm new to the site and looking for flights for 2 adults from any north west airport to edinburgh leaving this Sunday 4th, returning tuesday 6th?

I've checked BA but the cheapest they can do it is £312.

the cheapest train I can find is £182.00?

    hello again, thanks for your replies - I'm booking it for colleagues attending a training course up there so bus wouldn't really be an option. Driving, however, might be.

    thanks again
