Hi everyone!
I'm planning my trip to London and Manchester.
I got confused with finding a train with a reasonable price from London to Manchester.
And a second thing, which train stop is the closest to m.e.n arena?
Thanks for helping and see you in Manchester....

    Hi Nomi,

    I did Stoke to London (and back again) in 2007 for the Wembley Arena show, and Virgin Rail did the tickets at £12.50 each way. Their website shows tickets for £17 one way for London to Manchester:

    You'll need to book early and travel off-peak.

    The nearest station to the MEN is Victoria, which is actually underneath the arena itself. However, the London train will stop at Picadilly and then it's a ten minute walk from that station. Walk straight out the station, keep walking until you pass the Arndale Shopping Centre and the M&S, turn right and you can't miss it.
