I don't think you can get a coach to Manchester. It might have to be the train

Your first job is to find how u can get to manchester :

then work the price out by going on the relevant comapany page ie the rail co or nataional express .

 

 

(Before someone asks the X48 sheffield - manchester no longer runs it stopped running in 1986)

trains are costing more than his wage.could do with catching a lift share if anyone knows anyone going daily

It may help if you indicate which part of sheffield you want a lift from and where in manchester the course is .

[dorberman 10]

anywhere round ecclesfield/hillsborough area to just through glossop as you enter outskirts of manchester(denton)

Even with the 16-25 railcard discount, it still costs over £60 for 5 return tickets (Railcard discount unavailable before 10am).

How old is he?

 

£60 a week? Surely it's not worth the hassle?

[dorberman 10]

16 but after being in pro football for 5 years then playing for a team just 3 divisions below owls and blades then yes it would be worth it to make the grade.some players on £800 /week there!!! better than working for a firm wouldnt you agree?

Congratulations on getting the apprenticeship. Friends of mine kids have had trials but nothing else.

 

If you get a 16-25 railcard and book advance on http://www.nationalrail.co.uk, you can returns from £6. I have just tried for 19th May. You have to pick the trains carefully, book advance. Obviously he needs to get to the stations in Manchester.
