There is a 21:40 train to Leeds from Kings Cross gets in at 00:15am and a coach to Manchester at around 2:15am,i caught this when i was on my way home for the QPR game last season,so i would check on times and if it is still running.It also gets very busy normally with students etcetera,but it is an option,although Virgin tickets aren't valid as it is a different operator.
I've been on a train from St Pancras to Sheffield then got one to Mcr on a Saturday night in the past too.

This 9pm train everyone is flapping over will not be the only train heading north that night!

Last train from St Pancras to Sheffield is 2055.

And that 2140 the other fella is on about doesn't exist either.

A ghost train ????
 
I don't know if I will go by bus or train at the moment, but the last train to Donny leaves at 11pm, I could even get the 930 train aswell. but it must be shit when Manchester is a big city and last trains are 9, don't they go up to Scotland as Donny trains do

We are not ..... we're not really here train ! Sound just the job!
 
It is not Virgin rail or any other provider who state the last train time, it is down to Network Rail, as through the night they walk the tracks checking all the sleepers, rails, points etc. so safety comes first. Perhaps they could do later trains if you don't mind the risk of them derailing :-)

It was me mentioned the 21:40 to Leeds from Kings Cross,that was last May,i did say to check as it may have altered now.If you can get to Yorkshire somewhere and have a good mate or relative with transport,or if a few of you a taxi,then it should work ok.
