Leeds to York day return

[itsjustmyjob]

The off peak day return at £13.10 looks pricey. Are there any ways to split the journey to bring the cost down?

Thanks in advance

If you don't feel like spending 90 minutes going via Harrogate, and £3.00 Northern Advance fares aren't your thing, give Coastliner buses a try, it's half the price of the train for a return and they are quicker than travelling via Harrogate.

Otherwise, you're going to need a loophole to make the journey cheaper, and that won't be publicly posted on the forum, as the Train Operating Companies will close it down.

Wasnt aware Northern advances existed on this flow, I assume only available on the Hourly x Blackpool trains?

Also what is the price diference via Harigat? I am aware of the other rail related way of doing it you mention JakeF

Yes, that's right. Typically around 40 minutes compared to 25 with TPE or XC.

The price via HGT is £11.70 Off Peak v £13.10 (and £15.00 Anytime vs £16.80). The saving is marginal but if time is more important than money I suppose it may add up.
