yup im looking at 65 with rail card for open return but on , megabus we can get tickets to Manchester then to Sheffield tickets to Manchester r 4.50 then £8 to get back on the Sunday cant view prices for Manchester to Sheffield yet as can only book uptil 3rd of April at current but it think it would be cheapest unless we can persuade a driver to drive us there and back

Ok iam gonna book a train down, tomorrow, and collect my tickets, if anyone else is training it let me know, am going for the 8.20 form Queens street (sso 8.40 in central).
i understand bus is cheaper, but iam willing to sacrifice 13 quid for leg room.
If anyone thinks this is a superbad idea let me know
