Flying Edinburgh to London £54 return and that includes an all day london Transport train / Tube pass . Even on Easy-Jet you are guarenteed a seat (you might have to fight for it ) on Virgin trains or the like you are guarenteed nowt at twice the price and more , even if you have pre booked seats as LLL has pointed out .

Better get these arrangements changed Eric.... fly down thursday for the Tottenham-Hearts game at White Hart Lane then 2 days later Challenge cup Final... couldnt have planned that any better!! have you been bumming UEFA or something?

The 30 minute train takes about an hour and 15. About the time it'd take a rail replacement coach there.

1) it says leaving platform 4 !!
2) it shows a train symbol.

It said on the notice on the station that replacement coach travel would be provided between Wigan & Crewe via Warrington implying the coach makes a stop at Warrington - an hour and a quarter is about right to get to Crewe by road - I ended up doing that for the UEFA final.
