We (Sneeeky's) did just this a few years ago when we took 3 outdoors teams and St Andrews down for the Outdoors Nationals in Oxford. At that time we had about 45 folks on the bus. The cost came out at about 32 pounds per person. We had to provide B&B for the driver. This was quick, comfortable and probably the best way to travel up north. The trains are VERY expensive and its too late to get a cheap Flight up (which can sometimes come out cheaper than the train). If you get the right coach company, you will be able to see videos on the way up - things like the WUCC 96 finals or other inspiring stuff. We watched Resevior Dogs and then Jungle Book. At the tournament we were seriously fired up !
