    East Midlands Parkway has no bus link to the airport

    Even if they put a bus stop on the main road for the Nottingham Skylink buses to pick up then it would only be a 3 minute walk from the station, but there isn't even any of those! It's main use at the moment seems to be for megabus connections north.

    If it's used for Stabling how do the drivers get off? Can't be too safe climbing down in the middle of running lines and having to hop up a platform?

    York to Harrogate Season Ticket

    So a York - Leeds season ticket looks like my only option at the moment? Would I ever come across any problems trying to board the train at Harrogate or Starbeck in the direction of York with this ticket (or for that matter leave should there be a ticket check at say Harrogate). Also a bit...
