sarah   10 #1 Posted August 21, 2003 Could anyone tell me if it is possible to get from Manchester to Sheffield by bus after 8 pm on weekdays? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
billyblade   10 #2 Posted August 21, 2003 The train would be better because they are usually every hour or so because of the airport link, on arrival in Sheffield you can get straight on the tram,bus or taxi for the rest of you journey. Never caught the bus though  Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Classic Rock   10 #3 Posted August 21, 2003 I would imagine there would be a National Express Coach service. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Tony Ruscoe   10 #4 Posted August 21, 2003 The train would be much quicker.  It can take anywhere between 1 hour 25 mins to 3 hours 30 mins on the coach (according to http://www.nationalexpress.com), whereas the train takes around 50 mins (if you get one of the "quick" ones)!  There doesn't appear to be much difference in price either, but I've only had a quick glance...

Andy C Â Â 83 #5 Posted August 25, 2003 National Express coaches are routed via Leeds the last I heard, take forever and only run about 4 times a day. I could be wrong though. Â Trains are usually a better bet for this journey across the pennines, expresses take about 50 mins, stoppers take 1hr20, and run every half hour until about 10pm. On weekdays they run through the night as well. Â fares/times at http://www.qjump.co.uk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Cycleracer   10 #6 Posted August 26, 2003 If your determined on a bus then a short 14 mile train journey to Glossop, were you can pick up a bus to Sheffield from there. The bus is only available in summer. I'd stick to the train direct though if i was you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
