Is it just me or are the trains for Oldham (ie. a return to Manchester Piccadilly) at a fixed rate regardless of time? With a young person's card they are still all £49, I swear I've done that trip loads of times for £35/40 at late notice.
It's also looking the same for Carlisle (£55) except for one train which leaves London at 7:30am.

Unfortunately over the August and easter bank holidays the train companies are not too generous with the cheap tickets, demand at peak times methinks
Ahh, good point. I don't particularly want to go back to Oldham but if there's even a miniscule chance of promotion there, I have to go. £55 to Carlisle I'm not that bothered about.
For anyone doing Huddserfield, there are still some cheap-ish tickets on the 0903 and 1003 to Wakefield, then it's another fiver and 35 minutes or so over to the Galpharm.

Megabus...on the train is £9 single, in to Huddersfield at 12.45
Nice, cheers. I saw you wrote that above and instantly thought "5 hour stopping service" but that's actually decent timing, especially since I'd be waiting around in Wakefield anyway.

Do you know what the deal is with this "Megaplus?" I've had a look through their site and it says it uses East Midlands rail, so I'm guessing you change at Sheffield and jump on a coach? I've got it all booked but they lack a little bit on specific info.

For Oldham, if you do London to Birmingham return, and then Birmingham-Manchester return that I believe is good as well

Now stop working and send me your train times for Scunthorpe and I'll see what I can do.
You get the train to East Midlands Parkway station and then a bus to Huddersfield.
