That train line one was the one that told me I couldn't get from London to Manchester. Stupid thing. That virgin one is much better, thanks Granny. 
It's still making me register before it will tell me how much it will cost though. Ridiculous things.

I did notice a similarity in the websites, but virgin believe I can go from my town to another, where the other one says it's impossible.

Why don't you call National Rail Enquiries? You might get to speak to Mrs V.

Why don't I? Because I've given up. They want £50 and I'd have to find somewhere to stay in Manchester, and I hate the place.

£35? That's almost half of what I got quoted for from Southampton, which isn't that far away.
What time is everyone planning to arrive, btw?

How much is it costing you this time? I note Sheffield to Manchester was blatantly excluded from any possible discount tickets!
