I've had fellow contractors not believe me when I tell them knutsford station isn't on the WCML and they'll have to change at Manchester or Crewe, it's on the snail rail CLC line (Chester to Manchester in about a day and a half) using the awful Northern Rail.
However don't Barclays have a shuttle bus from Crewe? Might be cheaper accom around that area.

I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.

I knew of a 1st line support guy who did that for the time of his contract.

Currently at Radbroke, due to finish in 6 weeks.
There is a bus which brings a lot of people in and takes them away - either from crewe or knutsford (not quite sure)Comment

The Barclays shuttle from Radbroke, runs to and from both Crewe and Knutsford Stations. The Crewe shuttle (takes about 40 mins) stops at Holmes Chapel (about 6 miles from Radbroke Hall) on the way. Hotels and B&B's in Knutsford and Holmes Chapel are expensive (£60+ per night minimum). Much cheaper nearer Manchester, or in Macclesfield/Congleton but as people have already pointed out, Manchester to Knutsford by train takes ages. Car sharing is an option from Manchester I suppose. I know a few people that do it. If you don't have your own transport then it can be a logistical nightmare if you want somewhere affordable. Shared houses are around but again, the further away from Manchester you are (ie nearer Knutsford) the availability is limited and the price rises accordingly plus they get snapped up quickly.Comment
