Recommendation
For this journey from Kingston upon Hull to Manchester, I recommend taking the train with TransPennine Express. The train provides a faster and more comfortable journey, taking around 2 hours to cover the 109 miles, vs. the 3.5 to 4 hours by bus. The increased speed and frequency of trains make it a practical choice. Make sure to book in advance to get the best rates and seat reservations.
