Hope people don't get frustrated with chat about which newspaper has the tokens in and so on! Just to let people know that today the Yorkshire Evening Post (widely available over Leeds and Bradford) has the Northern token in on the page opposite page 27. As this paper is 65p it's cheaper than...

Halifax Courier told me their token would be in Friday 12th (tomorrow's) edition if that helps anyone. Those who have done this in the past could I just buy two copies of the same paper and use the two tokens? Have not noticed any information which would say whether that's ok or not.

Have you tried following the link and putting in some destinations to see what prices you get?

Looking at DarloRich's itinerary above I'm not too clear about what extras he's having to pay for. Is the Rover valid on the ferry to the Isle of Wight? Thought it was not. Also is it valid on HS1? I know it is valid on Southeastern but that might not convince all train staff. Interesting to...

Actually to the original poster First Great Western do appear to have a complaints number. Maybe that'll help? See link here https://twitter.com/FGW/status/487254239434264576 The number is 03457000125 for the Twitter-phobic.

As has been pointed out the saynoto0870 site does a lot more than find alternatives to just 0870 numbers. Even freephone 0800/0500 numbers cost from a mobile so having an alternative 01/02/03 number to hand is always useful. When I'm traveling around the place I usually take the time to program...

I heard on BBC Radio Leeds that Northern threw "everything they'd got" at getting people from Leeds to Harrogate on Saturday. That may well have been the case, and indeed a lot of people did want to go that way. By about 1230h the station staff had decided to abandon trying to get...

.... and at the other end....

The 1315h from Leeds to Harrogate is a Northern service. Just seen it. Royal Train loco and all!

How about Huddersfield Bus Station? Or 'most Post Offices in West Yorkshire'.

What do you mean by 'no go zones'? That the towns/cities will be so crammed there will be no point trying to leave home? I do appreciate that it will dawn on people soon that the only way to get around over the Tour De France Yorkshire will be by train (or walk) due to road closures and so on...

Thanks all for comments. Northampton is an idea although it's actually further south than Peterborough. I was thinking there could be a coach option which does sort of fill me with dread. However I suppose it'll be less work than driving and it is quite cheap. Maybe that'll have to be it.

Hmm that's a thought. Actually didn't think of looking at Open Train Times until just now. Probably furthest north will be the 0023h from King's Cross to Peterborough. Unless, of course, you know different.

Hi all; I need to get back to Yorkshire from London late on a Saturday night or early on a Sunday morning. Ideally leaving London about 2330h. So what options do I have? The last East Coast leaves King's Cross at 2200h which is a bit early; then the first on Sunday leaves at 0856h which is a...

Thanks everyone for the responses.... I might as well plan a trip to as many of these places as I can! --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Oh and all of these links of links took me to this page about Augsburg Railway Park. Need to view in Chrome to get the translation but apparently...

Thanks for taking time to reply; that'll do!

Hi all; I was wondering anyone who had good knowledge of euro-train museums if any had a Trans Europe Express set on display? My son is fascinated by this loco and if there was one in a museum in Germany or Switzerland or elsewhere I'd love to take him. I've tried searching but a lot of the...

Here's my attempt at covering this event. There's some filler which isn't Bittern which I'm not sure if that will annoy or interest viewers. That's the way it is for now anyhow. There's very definitely Bittern at some point. SnVDBk_NXyw

Hi well I did indeed use my Wakefield Stations to York Anytime Day Return (via Any Permitted Route) on Saturday 7th. Traveled on East Coast from Wakefield to Doncaster, then East Coast from Doncaster to York. Then eventually back from York to Leeds on Transpennine Express, and Leeds to Wakefield...

For what it's worth I have used my East Coast voucher as part payment for a Wakefield to York Day Return. Actually it's an Anytime Day Return. The ticket just states it's valid via any permitted route, and does not say East Coast Only. The East Coast website suggested I go outward via Leeds and...
