Try GNER, they run a train from Aberdeen to London everyday. Takes just under 7 hours. Leaves Aberdeen at 9am and will get to Edinburgh approx lunch time then it stops at York, Hull, Doncaster and Peterborough. Ive taken it a few times and im sure you could then take local rail from one of the stations to Manchester via another place or 2. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

calscot 0 Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 New York is between Newcastle and Whitley bay - just off the A19. Driven past it quite a few times when I lived in Newcastle. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
