Answer 1

do not go on virgin trains like most others would it is an appalingly uncomfortable and slow route and with the trent valley route now shut the average journey is over 3 hrs. my advice is to go from kings cross to doncaster then get a trans pennine express to preston blackburn or wherever you are going. the journey time should not be more than 3 hrs. also the trains are alot more comfortable than virgin with a good view from the window. the price on any route is about £50

Answer 2

train from paddington to manc piccadilly takes prob 3 - 4 hours.

i travel s wales to manchester and it takes just over 3 hours and costs me approx £40, dependant on what day i travel and what time. coach would take longer, not sure how much. flight would be quicker and you may get a good deal off the internet
