WY Metro Train & Bus DayRover

[johntea]

Would anyone know if I can purchase the West Yorkshire Metro Train & Bus DayRover at the fares window at Leeds near the ticket barriers?

I can't buy it on the train (only the train only one is sold), and Castleford Bus Station isn't listed as one of the bus stations that sells it either! Need to get to Otley via Saltaire today so yeah

Nope same as on train. You would need to buy a ticket into Leeds then get your train and bus from the main ticket office.

A very kind member of the barrier staff let me through to buy the ticket luckily (I did ask at the window first)

For future reference, unless there's been a change recently, the scratch card version of this pass is only available at bus stations. This means that if you just want to have a pass in reserve for self validation on the day of travel, you can't get one at the rail station.

I'm used to my MetroCard but since I'm job hunting at the minute I can't justify having that around as I could end up anywhere for my interviews, next week I'm in Blackpool

But yes certainly quite a bit of effort to actually get the ticket which I'll be feeding back to Metro, I can maybe understand the train not doing it due to the ticket stock but the newly refurbished Castleford Bus Station not doing it either is a bit rubbish!

Even ended up getting a Uber between Saltaire and Otley as there was a delay on the train I intended to catch to Shipley to connect with the Ilkley service so I only ended up getting one bus in the end anyway!
