Thanks Diane65.

Here are some others that may be useful ;)

Same hotel, Holiday Inn Manchester West, but cheaper on here at £63
http://www.vivastay.com/uk/hotels/TO1233954?lang=en

and a Travelodge £42 Saver Rate, which is about a 15 minutes bus ride away from Piccadilly (as Diane65 informs me):
http://www.travelodge.co.uk/hotels/285/ ... city-hotel - the link may reset to January, so you may need to amend the search.

But for the singles amongst you there is the 4 star YHA - private bathroom dorms at £26 a night if you don't mind sleeping in a dorm!

Is that Redspottedhanky? Diane65 said they should be 12.50 one way, from Redspottedhanky. I have a code from Sun+ Perks for a discount of 9.50, so that is a huge saving!

The Sun+ £9.50 discount should now have been added to accounts if you applied for it. Also the Fantasy Grand Prix loyalty points have also been added.

That's as good as it gets from Edinburgh for a Friday they have an occasional £13.00 on a Saturday (that's a bit like Russian roulette waiting for them as sometimes all the £16.00 tickets go and then they don't release the £13 ones :noo: ) Well done on getting the discount so unless you have redspottedhanky codes get booking :cheer: It feels really real now :cheer:
The London tickets are up to the 3rd April now so it's imminent.

Still waiting for my Grand Prix loyalty points to be added plus the Fantasy Football which should be good as I have been so good at picking my team :roll: [spoiler]Well Yogi has done it all for me as I haven't a clue about football and also done the Grand Prix for me - How lucky am I having a talented friend? ;)[/spoiler]

Just been checking and the Nottingham ones (for TheFox) go as low as £5 each way but not following a pattern as such as to when they are released :confused:
