Easiest way to plan a circular trip?

[alexl92]

Hi guys,
If I wanted to plan a circuilar trip on service trains e.g. Leeds - Sheffield - Hull - Leeds or similar, which websites will help me best do that? Currently I just find the train I want to start on using RTT, then jump forward to the next location and check what trains go in the direction I want from there after the arrival time.

Is there a better way to do it? I assume the usual journey planners won't help as it's not a logical journey.

Cheers!

Trainsplit can do what you need. For the example above, you'd enter Leeds to Hull as a return journey, but in the advanced options, you can specify 'via Sheffield' but untick the option for it to be applied to the return journey so that way you'll get more logical Hull to Leeds journeys.

Fastjp will help there - same engine as trainsplit but faster since it doesn't query reservations and prices.
It can't do a full circle but put the via points in and it'll take you most of the way.

You can also filter by TOC (e.g. Northern only)

Which is very handy when planning a trip on a Northern Delay Repay complimentary ticket.

Yep, or the special Northern only tickets (e.g. the Newspaper ticket, or the currently offered super league day ranger).
