  • Without dates it will be hard to give you a definite price, but splitting at Manchester Piccadilly should give you a good saving.

    After a quick online search you can do the journey for £30.85

    Stoke to Manchester Pic Off Peak Return @ £9.75 and Advance singles from Manchester Pic to Edinburgh from £10.55 each way. Prices with railcard.

    But don't leave it till the last minute as cheap Advance singles can sell out.
