    London to Manchester with loads of luggage
    and not going by car but going by Coach or Train

    Obviously not impossible but assuming you have loads of luggage how would you cope?

    Assuming the problem is that you don't have a car, have you thought about joining a car club and borrowing one of theirs? My mum's a member of one, and it works really well.

    True, true, but there must be someone who isn't necessarily moving about with all their things that is heading from London to Manchester.

    With masses of luggage and car ruled out train is best option, coaches can be a bit fussy if you have loads of stuff

    Take the plane. I think BA and Bmi fly from Heathrow to Manchester, obviously you might have to pay a bit for excess luggage, but that depends on how much you're planning on taking.
