Outward journey is the 538 0800 Birmingham-Edinburgh. Coach provided by Goode's of West Bromwich. Note that as this is a 'dated' service, don't miss it by looking for something in NX livery. You'll be looking out for something like this:

Return journey is the 325 1250 Manchester-Birmingham. Coach provided by Veolia, Birmingham (You might know Veolia better by their previous name of Connex - I'm ducking now to avoid any objects being thrown by forum members south of the Thames
). They currently have 25 identical Scanias with Irizar PB bodywork:

I don't know if you are aware of this, but NX 'funfare tickets' are available from Manchester. Similar to the Megabus concept, single fares from £1 are available to Birmingham & London, more details on the NX website
http://www.nationalexpress.com/ That should save you a few quid to use on train trips elsewhere in the country
