Question
"Hello Bill,

             Basically I need to get from the Men Arena in Manchester to the London 02 in 1 day, I know there a train station next to the Men arena but can't seem to find out the locations it offers online. Aslo I've tried looking at coaches from Manchester Airport to London and then I can get a taxi but again I'm unsure as to whether which locations a coach will serve in Manchester to London (National express).



Please Bill any advice, see I'm travelling from birmingham to the men arena which is no problem but i really need to get to the 02 for the next night, so im in a bit of a pickle, so any help would be tremendously appreciated.

Answer
I'm so terribly sorry that I am just an enthusiastic American traveler who knows a few things to advise about, but not a great deal of detail. Somehow I feel certain that there HAS to be some kind of Britrail service from Manchester to London, to one of the London stations. Euston station is the arrival point in London, and Manchester Piccadilly station is the station in Manchester to use, according to www.britrail.com -- about a 2 hour 20 minute train ride. I don't know if that will help you at all, but best of luck with arranging your transportation!
