Manchester to London Train

Direct trains from Manchester arrive at Euston Station. Closest tube station to your hotel is Marble Arch. Looks like you take the Northern Line from Euston Station to Tottenham Court Rd and switch to the Central Line to Marble Arch.

Oh, and yes, I’d book now if you can commit to a specific train. Advance fares can be as low as £25 but you have to be on that exact train.

I've done this route a few times.

As of today, no more strikes have been called. By law, the union must give two weeks notice of any strike action. If there should be a strike on your travel day, and your train is canceled, there are flights between Manchester and London. (If your train is cancelled, and they can't get you to London within a few hours of your arrival time, you get a full refund even on non-refundable tickets.)

Booking now will save you money.

As for getting to your hotel in London, forget the tube. It's a hassle. Instead, take the number 30 bus which you get in front of Euston (Stand H) and it drops you a block from your hotel.

Or just take a taxi. It's not that far. It's just under 2 miles via automobile.

If you train is cancelled, there are also coaches between Manchester and London. A lot less faff than flying, and a lot cheaper. https://www.nationalexpress.com/en/destinations/london/manchester-to-london

Thanks all! I’m going to hop on today and check prices and hopefully book. We will be there end of July so hoping no strikes announced during that window! Thanks also for tips to get to the hotel.

On the previous strike days there were still some trains running from Manchester to Euston

Booked! Got it for 51 pounds each for advance purchase tickets. Thanks for everyone's help!
