Hi there
I am hoping to get some planning advice here..pls help !;)
I am lookin to visit London for 4-5 days and then to get to Manchester to catch a flight to Munich ( I hav got the free air ticket btw Man n Munich which departs Man at 0810hr)
I wanted some advice on how best I can get from London to Manchester.. And is there any place along the route that it worth a night stay or stopover? And since my flight from Manchester is early in the morning... Does it mean I will have to stay in Man for the night egre or is there any way I can plan around the train schedule to jus get direct to man airport? (Cos I was checking out Man sights and nothing very much caught my eye)
oh and I m planning 27nov- 4dec period..
Thanks in advance!! ;)
I was going to suggest Megabus but the reviews are terrible
I suggest then http://ojp.nationalrail.co.uk/en/s/timetable/times
I would get there earlier and stay overnight. You might miss your flight if the train is delayed (which they often are)
Personally I'd forget about the Manchester part and book a ticket London to Munich, It will most likely be cheaper than travelling London to Manchester.
Try the coach company National Express.
If you must fly from Manchester, then either investigate the long-distance buses on www.nationalexpress.com or the trains on www.nationalrail.co.uk
But if your flight is very early in the morning it is very likely that staying overnight will be the best idea. Staying anywhere else will provide you with exactly the same transport problems early in the morning.
Manchester does have some interest (and lots of shops), so one night there will not be entirely tedious. Have a look at the VT Manchester pages for tips/info.
Hi
In relation to sightseeing in Manchester from my trips there I haven't seen much although the Trafford Centre is a nice place if you want to do some shopping etc and the food court there has a nice selection. Try visiting the Visit Britain website for ideas on what's there. You can get a straight train from London to Manchester, chck out trainline.com or nationalrailenquiries.com
London on the other hand is the complete opposite with so much to do, with so much you don't know where to begin. Whilst writing I would like to tell you about a book my friend introduced me to yesterday its packed with loads of 2 for 1 vouchers and is a great guide (my friend tells me) for London, its called taketwobooks. I've still to try it out but the reason I'm telling you this is as its valid until 28th February you can buy it and pass it onto friends which is what happened in my case. Otherwise like I said there's loads of other companies to try like londonpass or tour companies like Duck Tours, Original Bus Company.
I hope you have a nice trip to London & Manchester
I think you mean www.nationalrail.co.uk (the official railway website for the UK).
thanks for all ur advice. i guess i am aborting the idea of going to MAN. Will just focus my 4-5 days within London then catch a flight to Austria. :)
OK, so you saw a nice t-shirt, paper weight, collectible place (add your favorite souvenir) at a price you think it's adequate. Chances are the shop next door or down the street has the same item but cheaper. At Piccadilly Circus there's plenty of souvenir shops that have pretty much the same range of merchandise and the price differs by as much as a couple of pounds. You might even look at shops outside the city center for even better prices.
Walking around town. No two areas are the same, and London is always changing. New shops, new restaurants, new pubs. Every trip into town offers something new. A Bombay Saphire martini in Bank (at Kingsway and Aldwych) with a fine Havana cigar. Or, ...

TimeOut London is the sister magazine/website to TimeOut New York. It is the place you go to find out what's going out in London, from concerts, clubs, social/community events, parades, and whatever else is going on in London! It's a fantastic site/magazine that everyone who visits London must visit/purchase to see what local events they can participate in. I've found out about several street fairs, local parades, even hotel suggestions from TimeOut. It's incredibly helpful and I highly suggest you use it as a resource when visiting London.
View from the top of the Monument towards Tower Bridge.
The view from the top of the Monument is great but go on day when it is warm-ish. It can be bitterly cold up there if there is a wind and there is no where to shelter from it, as I found out!
one of the weird and discomfortable things is to flush in the toilet paper in the bidet! i mean it!
i've been to different english houses, student flats and so on and they seem to share this common custom! once i was in this lady's house whom i was her guest for a couple of days. then i was looking for a rubbish bin in the toilet to throw away the used paper. i was looking and looking and looking until i just grabbed a plastic bag to get rid of it. then i hanged the bag in the toilet, so my other guest friends were using it as well. the lady got upset and said, 'no, we don't do this here. you'd throw the used paper into the toilet then flush it in. it's recycled paper and should dissolve'..............excuse me! it's not even good to have the toilet well-maintained, it'll block the poor toilet.
so here, just flush the used paper in, never throw it away! tho i'd still feel sorry not to dignfy the paper in bin rather humiliating it somewhere else,lol
oh wait...also some public toilets have lady's machines and ie to insert a coin and here you receive lady's sanitary stuff. cool, innit? i found this machine to cost £2 per item.
