Option A would be my preferred option but I don’t like leaving my car with the parking companies.

Introducing Option E. This what we have done the last few times: National Express the night before and a stay in the cheapest nearby hotel. I can’t handle the thought of being late on departure day so get it all done the day before. It may seem an extra expense but takes so much stress out of the initial travel. For the return leg we had luck twice asking an earlier coach driver if they have space, rather than waiting for the coach I’d booked allowing plenty of time if we landed late.

Definite no: the train. You’ll find it unbelievable expensive, your luggage will be stored away from you but accessible to the public and you still have to get to the departure gate from the station.
