Heya
I'm a long time lurker, and I'm usually pretty good at digging out the best fares myself, but I'm struggling a bit with this one!
Next week I'm travelling as follows:
Wed 4th June -
I would like to do this if possible with walk-up tickets, at least for the Wednesday as I can't commit to any times, and my plans are liable to change at the last minute.
There are a few potential variables...
Does anyone know a better way, or have I perhaps got the best deal I can there?
Thanks in advance!
Edit: Just to add, the reason I'm not using Megabus/NatEx for the entire journey, is that I don't want to spend half the day travelling!

Next week I'm travelling as follows:
Wed 4th June -
- Manchester - Rugby
- Rugby - Longbridge
- Longbridge - Leeds (Need to arrive in Leeds by 12.30pm)
- Leeds - Manchester (Departing Leeds at about 6pm)
I would like to do this if possible with walk-up tickets, at least for the Wednesday as I can't commit to any times, and my plans are liable to change at the last minute.
There are a few potential variables...
- I have a pass that I can use on Stagecoach buses between Coventry and Rugby, so if its substantially cheaper to go to Coventry rather than Rugby on the Wednesday, that is an option.
- On my final Leeds - Manchester leg, there are others I can travel with on a Megabus, so unless I can save money by getting the train instead, I shall take that option
- Off peak return from Leeds to Longbridge @ £51.10. Starting short at Manchester, breaking journey at Birmingham
- Off peak day return from Birmingham to Rugby @ £6.10
- Use Megabus for final Leeds - Manchester leg
Does anyone know a better way, or have I perhaps got the best deal I can there?
Thanks in advance!
