I think I've done something silly and just seeing if I can make things simpler now.
I'm visiting Manchester on (Sat) February 25th and London (Sun) February 26th to see a band I rather like.
I've booked my tickets for the band and an Advance train ticket reasonably early on the 26th from Manchester Piccadilly so I can meet friends in London for lunch.
It looks like there's something big on in Manchester that weekend and hotel prices are scary (and hostels are needed multiple nights booking). I'm looking further afield and hotels in Stockport are reasonable.
You may be able to see where I'm going here...
Is there any way I could join the train at Stockport or will I have to get into Manchester? Annoyingly, I'm travelling too early to get the train to Piccadilly, so I'd have to do that by bus.
