Hi

Two Lads (age 34) are going to a Liverpool game in April (from Dublin), the only problem is that there is other things on in livepool that weekend and all places to stay is booked out (unless u pay a load of money). And to fly in and out is €220.

Way to much money, so thinking of flying into Liverpool and then get a train to Manchester and going out in Manchester and staying in Manchester and fly back to Dublin from manchester.

So my quesation is how much is the train and has many people done this, and were is good to go out in Manchester.

As we are only staying one night we what to stay somewere cheap, easy to get to, and in the city center so we don’t have to walk, get bus ect to the were all the good night life is.

Had a look and thinking of staying in

its very easy to get the train from liverpool to manchester, trains every 20mins or so during the day, takes about 45mins and can cost as low as £4 one-way despending how far ahead you buy your tickets (only can buy up to early feb as yet) http://ojp.nationalrail.co.uk/service/timesandfares/Liverpool/MAN/030212/1200/dep

i have stayed in the international hotel before, its right across the road from manchesters biggest railway station picadilly, the twins rooms there are decent, good deal for the price, there are loads of places to go in manchester, its a bigger city than liverpool, the cheaper bars/clubs are located near the university down by deansgate, a list of the more upmarkets bars and clubs can be found http://www.manchesterbars.com/top10.htm

yeah train goes from piccadilly to the airport, fairly regularly but just check beforehand as sometimes on sundays in the UK they do work on the rails so have buses instead.

the imperial war museum north is good and the lowry museum is in salford (both near Old Trafford) you can get there handy on the tram.
There are a few other museums too if that's your thing, science museum and museum of the city (urbus?).

don,t bother with the train.coach leaves outside terminal building at liverpool every hour. drops at piccadilly manchester center.8 pound way i think.deansgate,printworks for nightlife.terravision is the website for bus.i,m a utd season ticket holder over there way to often if u want to know anything else.
