 York's Double Decker by Goner
It's a good idea to buy your ticket and travel early as the ticket can be used all day to hop on and off the bus at any of the stops and at £7.50 per adult you will want to get the most from your ticket. One full circuit round town takes about one hour.
Some of the bus stops on the tour include
Kings manor
the Merchant Adventurers Hall
Clifford's tower and
the museum gardens Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

Wednesday September 10, 2008
When I asked Gillian (Gillybob) what was a must do during our trip to Northern England, she said "You must visit York".
So, on Wednesday, Hans and I headed for the Halifax Train Station to get a train to York.
NORTHERN RAIL has trains going to York every hour. We took the 10:02 train and paid £11.50 each, return (off-peak rate). It took about an hour and twenty minutes to get there. The heart of the city of York (go left) was about a ten minute walk from the York Train Station. You can't miss seeing the huge York Minster. Leave a Comment

York is just over two hours from London by train. We travelled from London's King's Cross with GNER trains for only 19 pounds return. To get a fare this cheap, you need to book a few weeks in advance. Also, when you are booking make sure you book two singles rather than a return as for some reason it works out cheaper. For example, when booking our fare the cheapest return was 72 pounds. When we clicked on the option to book two singles it cost 9.50 each way, a saving of 53 pounds! I've no idea why this anomaly exists but I've been using it for ages to book cheap fares.
York station is just outside the town walls, about half a kilomtere from the old centre of the city. Railway enthusiasts will love York. The station, complleted in 1877, is one of the finest in England. If you have time to spare while waiting for a train, there is a model railway exhibition in the station building, while the National Railway Museum is a short walk away on Leeman Road.

However you MUST check to see when the last bus returns to where you have parked your car.
Parking cost £6 per day plus the cost of your bus journey at about £1.50 each.
With there being 3 of us it would have cost £10.50.
Parking in York centre cost £12, so we opted to park in the centre of York, in fact we ended up at Clifford’s Tower, nice and handy for all the sites. Leave a Comment

Well worth the money to take a jaunt around the city. I didn't get on one here but in other places it was about 10 pound for half an hour. Leave a Comment Theme: Other
