Greetings from across the pond...

Heading from Gatwick Airport to Liverpool in a few weeks. Not renting a
car. Followed by a week in London. What's the [ quickest / easiest /
cheapest ] way of getting from Gatwick to Liverpool?

Easiest is to take a Virgin Train at 0946 to Birmingham New Street,
and then a train from there to Liverpool Lime Street. Takes 5
hrs.42mins. Can also be done by taking a train to Reading, thence to
Birmingham and thence to Liverpool, in 5hrs.25mins.

Next easiest is to take a Southern Train at xx37 to Watford Junction,
and then a Virgin Train to Liverpool. Probably the quickest option at
just under 4 hours.

Coach involves a change at London or Birmingham, and takes between 7
and 8 hours, but will be the cheapest option, you will have a seat,
and walking will be minimal.
