Hi Failsafe,
Here are some guesses as I havn't had time to do any research as yet but I think it would have been Midland Railway to Birmingham, then London and North Western to Manchester.
Route would probably be Bath - Bristol - Birmingham - Crewe - Manchester.
Locos: 2-4-0 or 2-2-2 tender engines pulling trains of 4 or 6 wheeled coaches.
It would probably been the next cheapest way of travelling to walking. Time about 10 hours plus waiting for connections!
That should start the ball rolling!
Best wishes,
John H-T.
