To be honest, with the weather the way it is, you would be well advised to
consider other methods.

A train leaves Portsmouth & Southsea on Thursday morning (10:52), due to
arrive Preston at 15:38 (via London Waterloo and Euston) with a single
ticket costing �91.60.

Avoid London. I go via Winchester / Southampton when travelling NW from Pompey.
