The info on accents is very helpful. I think I should watch some youtube videos from the British locals to get used to the different accents.
annhig: I found 3 of them and they are 123.50GBP for 1 way (on the way back). If there's no cheaper option I may just consider staying only Sunday night in Manchester.
How come some of the trains take 9:30 hours?

Are they overnight trains that are 9:30 hours? Could be one train comes into a town that you transfer in late at night and the next train leaves first thing in the morning so you are stuck at your transfer station overnight....?

"<i>When I looked up online they didn't mention if it's overnight or not..</i>"
Well - if it arrives in the AM and takes 9 hours - then it HAS to be overnight . . .
According to the trainline - leaving Manchester Piccadilly at 10:07PM gets you into Euston at 7:02AM -- 8hr 55min <i>overnight</i>. But it has you sitting in Wolverhampton for almost 6 hours.
The idea of taking a train into London that morning doesn't make much more sense than doing Manchester as a day trip.

If you're visiting London, take a look at Time Out's area guides. They've got loads of information on what's happening throughout London's different boroughs, so you can work out what you want to do depending on where you're staying. They have information on restaurants, pubs, theatres and visitor attractions:
