Just because everyone turned up from Euston in this case simply confirms what I was saying - Londoners thought it was worth making the trip, people from say, Bolton, would have decided Salford was difficult to get to and stayed at home. When considering cities the ease with which the station can be reached from everywhere should be the priority, be it Manchester Piccadilly or London Liverpool Street.

If I may interject, Salford is quite hard to get to, even for locals. Proximity to Manchester Piccadilly and Victoria would be a better criterion. :)
Well, yes, but that doesn't affect Alison's point. Anywhere in Manchester would have been a bad choice of venue.
Not necessarily. You can get to anywhere in the world from Manchester Piccadilly.
Yes, but if everyone is travelling there via Euston, then somewhere near Euston would be a far better venue.
