^^ That sounds like the best way.

I will probably get some free accommodation from my sister in Manny, so I'd go up the Friday afternoon and then piss off on the Saturday, come back Sunday.

Also, if you do want to get the coach, it takes roughly 5 hours off the top of my head.

EDIT: Just did a check on Trainline, and there are a number of £22.00 tickets going at the moment in the morning of Saturday from Euston to Manchester. It's £4.20 single from Manchester to Bolton on the train.
