London to Cheshire

[grak]

Hey!

I need to go from London (any) to either Runcorn, Warrington, or Crewe, tomorrow. The trains seem to be all down and I’m trying to figure out the best way to get there. I’d like to arrive in the shortest amount of time/least changes and am happy to get on a train 7am earliest. Which route is best do you think?

Do you have a particular budget? Are you returning by train, and when if so?

Fastjp.com gives ~3:20 for changing at Leamington Spa and Nuneaton or Stafford (from Marylebone), or Reading and Stafford (from Paddington), or ~2:50 from Leicester and Nuneaton, or Derby and Tamworth (from St. Pancras).

No budget!

In that case, I think the simplest option is the London to Crewe off-peak single for £72.60 (no peak times tomorrow from my understanding due to the bank holiday), valid from Marylebone or Paddington. It doesn't seem to be valid changing at Nuneaton rather than Wolverhampton; I don't know if that's an overlooked absence in routeing maps or an intended lack of validity.
