Train, Bus, Flight - All options are sold out in UK (Dec 25) HELP!
I need advice on local UK travel. HELP!

I will be traveling from Ottawa and will be landing in either London or Manchester on Dec-25 or Dec-26. None of the trains, coaches, and flights seem have any tickets on Dec-25 from London to Lancaster (or) Manchester to Lancaster. Even on Dec-26, trains and coaches are full. I checked Virgin Train website, National Rail website, TransPennine Express website (for trains), and National Express website (for coaches).

Most of the car rental places are also closed. I could take a 'local' bus from Manchester to Preston and another local bus from Preston to Lancaster, but not sure whether I can carry two 23kg suitcases and hand luggage in local buses and whether I can book in advance.

Does anyone have any suggestions or know any alternate websites for trains and coaches?
