Grand Central Are GO!

[BOSCH]

Bosch - someone on MSN claims ALRs aren't valid on GC contrary to what I've been told by either you or Sir Clagalot....

Which is correct?

They are valid is what I have been told,christ the price of them you could have booked the coach to yourself !!!!

£860 for a non-discounted first class All Line Rover for 14 days!

Has a desicion been made regarding North County, Freedom of the North East and the Tees Valley Day Ranger? All of which would cover some portions of the GCR route?

[voyagerdude220]

Just a SOS ... oh, wait, you don't do trains unless they're AP and you travel in FC

That'll do me

What else can one expect from a Man Utd fan.....

We did beat Liverpool 1-0 yesterday :rasp:

 

[djw1981]

Yeah, hence my bitterness you prawn sandwich eating corporate soap-dodging monkeys

 

[Sir_Clagalot]

Yes Blame Me, Its my fault anyway! Cheeky b*****s!
I can see a time when we give discounts on our tickets for railcards, BUT we will need to be full members of ATOC first, and as an open access operator, you can't be...

 

[Tom]

Err - but do Hull Trains not offer discounts on their advance purchase tickets with railcards? - yep they do... http://hulltrains.co.uk/farestable.php

 

[Sir_Clagalot]

Could that be down to HT being part of First Group?

 

[yorkie]

IMO that GC version of the trainline which Tom has mentioned, is really bad!

I just don't think the orange text & black background goes well, although they are the GC colours..

By the looks of things, i'll be giving GC a miss, even before they've operated a passenger service, as I hold a YP railcard, and would find it to be ALOT cheaper to go by NEX when booking in advance, especially as I probably wouldn't do a return journey on GC.

York-hartlepool £5.90 CDR. beat that....

(Same price from Sherburn, Church Fenton, Ulleskelf, Cattal and Poppleton)
