    easyjet from Stansted?

    Is that cheaper than megabus?


    Cheapest flight is £27 but he would still have to get to Stansted

    The cheapest rail fare - from either Norwich or London - on that day is about £50 each. One way. Maybe a discount on the East Coast website


    6 hours from Norwich or 4 and a bit from London


    Megabus will be cheaper but takes a sight more than 10 hours (from Norwich, that is - via London). Potentially £15 each - £3 to London and £12 on to Edinburgh




    Are you coming back? That can make a difference

    National Express from Norwich to Stansted? about £25, takes a bit under 3 hours

    Megabus is going to be cheapest, but will also take the longest.

    Train is an easy journey from Norwich, just one change at Peterborough (avoiding London), also about £50 if you don't mind the early train

    Either train or coach/plane will be quicker, but more expensive than Megabus.

    Its a pity the date wasn't the 2nd of February, we are driving from Cambridgeshire back up to Glasgow :-)
    The reason we are driving is that we found it very complicated and expensive to do it any other way.
