Travel Information
Final Destination: Windermere
These trains also call at Kendal and Burneside and Stavely
These trains commence their journeys in the station at Manchester Airport and they also call at Manchester Oxford Road station
So if the starting point of your journey is in the Oxford Road area it's easier to join the train there, particularly as they depart from the platforms/tracks in Piccadilly station, which are furthest from its main entrance.

Tickets
Book early and save: Yes
The train company Northern offers discounted Advance tickets on this route from weeks ahead of travel, but what's good to know is that they can still be booked online (and saved to a mobile device) up until shortly before departure.
You can save a few £s by booking ahead, though you will have to select a specific departure, but if you then subsequently change your travel plans, you can't claim a refund.
But if you book online on you travel date you won't risk this scenario and the price will still be cheaper than what you would pay when booking last minute at the station.
