Leicester to Manchester and back
Round Trip from Leicester to Manchester
Hi everyone! I’m heading to the Sabrina Carpenter concert in Manchester on the 14th. Since I’m not from the UK and will be staying with a friend in Leicester for the week, I was wondering what’s the most cost-effective way to get to the concert and back on the same night. Is that even doable? Thanks in advance!
That sounds like an exciting trip! The best and most affordable way to get from Leicester to Manchester for the concert is likely by train. Here’s a quick guide to help you out:
Check Train Services: Look for trains from Leicester to Manchester on the day of the concert. You can use the National Rail website or apps like Trainline to find schedules and prices. Trains usually run frequently, and the journey takes about 1.5 to 2 hours.
Off-Peak Tickets: If you’re traveling in the evening, try to book off-peak tickets, which are typically cheaper. Make sure to check for any discounts or railcards you might be eligible for.
Return Journey: Plan your return trip after the concert. Most trains run until late evening, but it’s best to check the last train times to ensure you make it back to Leicester.
Buses: If trains are too expensive or not running at the right times, consider checking coach services like National Express or Megabus. These are usually more affordable, though travel times may be longer.
Ride-Sharing: Lastly, you could also look into ride-sharing options or carpooling if you’re comfortable with that.
Make sure to plan ahead and enjoy the concert!
