Answer 2

Try using the government funded portal, Transport Direct.

Transport Direct is the only website that offers information for door-to-door travel for both public transport and car journeys around Britain.  

Transport Direct is unique in that you can:

* Compare public transport options with a car route to find a way of travelling which best suits your needs.

* Obtain a car route that takes into account predicted traffic levels at different times of the day so that you can make informed decisions about when to travel.

* Get an estimate of the cost of a car journey.

* Buy train and coach tickets from affiliated retail sites without having to re-enter your details.

* Use PDAs and mobile phones using the latest browser technology to find out departure and arrival times for railway stations throughout Britain and for some bus or coach stops.

* Calculate fuel consumption

* Calculate CO2 emissions for a car or public transport for a specified journey.

It depends on what time you leave. If the roads are more conjested, then fuel consumption will be higher.

It tried it for a car journey between Glasgow and Blackpool leaving at 14:40 today. The distance is 196.7 miles and would take 3hrs 47 minutes. Fuel consumption is 39 Miles/gallon 7.24 Litres/100 km for a medium sized petrol car.

So you would need approx 5 gallons/23 litres of petrol. That should costs approx £25 at todays petrol prices.
