What's the cheapest way to travel from city to city in England?

We are going to be in England in May. Without a car, what is the cheapest way to travel from city to city? For example, we'd like to go from London to Stonehenge, to Avebury, to Castle Combe, to Bath. Can we take buses? Would the times be flexible?



Same question for up north...Manchester to Castlerigg Cumbria to Penrith Castle to Brougham Castle to Brough Castle.



Help, please?What's the cheapest way to travel from city to city in England?Frankly, despite the price of our very, very expensive petrol (gas), it would be best to hire a car with such an itinerary! You are going a-b. Our transport is dire , mainly due to the lack of investment by our horrid, London-centric govts. National Express Coaches are cheaper, it is true, but a car brings total independence! You are not having to worry, ages in advance, to book early for the best deals etc... It is so expensive if you need to take a train last minute. We live in Manchester and ended up driving, to attend an important event, last minute, in London recently. Two same day tickets were going to cost us HUNDREDS of Pounds for a 200 mile journey! Sixty Pounds of petrol and a short underground ride, the other end, was a better option.What's the cheapest way to travel from city to city in England?
first route--bus or train to Salisbury, then tour bus to Stonehenge (catch it at the train station). Then either go back to Salisbury for the night then catch a local bus to Avebury next day, or take a taxi from Stonehenge to the nearby town of Amesbury where you can also catch the bus to Avebury. From Avebury you can go by bus to Swindon and get either train or coach to Bath (you might need to change on the way.) Castle Coombe is the hardest one; possibly a bus from Bath?What's the cheapest way to travel from city to city in England?Up north - easiest way is the Glasgow or Edinburgh train from Manchester, get off at Penrith, bus to Keswick (30 mins),and walk to Casterigg, Back to penrith on the return bus route, not sure how to get to Brough on public transport but there should be bus from penrith.



Cheapest options are when you can book in advance - and often the coach can be cheaper but not always - best to check the dates nd times with the bus companies and thetrainline (or similar) for the trains. Transport direct is another web site to check. For long journeys try megabus.





Trains are most convenient for long journesy but them local busses
You can make most of your journeys by train. Some will need to be by bus. The rail network in England is dense and frequent and a Britrail Pass bought before arrival is good value for money

www.britrail.com

www.nationalrail.co.uk (timetable information)

For Stonehenge you catch the hourly bus service from outside Salisbury Station. Trains to Salisbury run every 30 minutes from London Waterloo Station (hourly on Sundays) and the journey takes 85 minutes

For Avebury you catch a train from London Paddington to Swindon. They run 4 times per hour and take 55-60 minutes. From Swindon Bus Station adjacent to the rail station you take an X49

bus (hourly - less frequent on Sundays) to Avebury. When visiting Avebury don't miss the nearby Silbury Hill - a man made hill and prehistoric hill fort. There are direct trains too from London Paddington or Salisbury to Bath and from Swindon to Bath

If you don't buy a Britrail Pass, advance purchase fares are the cheapest for longer rail journeys

Local bus information is available on www.traveline.org.ukWhat's the cheapest way to travel from city to city in England?When you get to London get yourself an oyster card. Practically every Londoner uses them and they can be used on buses, trains, DLR and of course the tube. I would say the best way for you to travel in general would be by train or you can get very cheap coach tickets from megabus.com or nationalexpress.com who are a bit more expensive. I will definitely be worth you visiting the first tourist information point you find and they should provide you with maps and tell you where all the stations are. One thing I will say, try and avoid travelling from 8-9am and 5-7pm, these are peak times and trains and buses are rammed with hot impatient commuters. Hope this helps a bit.What's the cheapest way to travel from city to city in England?
Cheapest would be a bus/coach - have a look at this site - it should help

I'd like to say the combination of plane and bus. The domestic flights are sometimes very cheap, and the bus can send you where the plane can't reach. Cheap and fast it will be. Check megabus for cheap bus fare and ryanair for the cheap flights.What's the cheapest way to travel from city to city in England?
The cheapest way to travel is to walk or run.



Stupid question - everything else costs money.
Bus!
Car. No buses for what you want. Buy a cheap car, sell it on leaving.
