MAN - STN / MAN- NWI query please

I have a little problem here and need some advice please. I have to get an elderly relative to East Anglia for Easter. Times and days are flexible enough to book well in advance so no problem there. However, my queries concern the load factors on these routes, the types used and the criteria for ID when checking in. The relative in question is my mother ( 83 ) and, whilst she is more than happy to fly, wheel chair assist. would be required at both ends.

The alternatives are a "change here, there and everywhere" trip on the rail network---although with MAN-STN this should only involve one change at Peterborough--or I make 2 return journeys to deliver and collect.

Flying would seem the best option in terms of expediency, but I would like to know more about the routes / operators before I commit to this option.

Any and all impartial advice welcome please.
