Personally I'd hang around and help us pack up and put up with a 9 hour journey overnight with RETURN B :)

Save ?3.32 by buying a nxCard!

There are other options but with 19 hour journies and 250 minute layovers in London and Brmingham I thought these were your best options :D

If your gonna go via coach, i'd consider getting some insurance for your
bits and bobs, as you cant look after it all when it's in the luggage
compartment...

All you need to work out now is whether MiniDisk is joining you in Newcastle and you're travelling together or if you are travelling down separately, it looks like potentially you can be on the same coach for the lst stretch, but only if MiniDisk chooses the 19 hour journey option!
