Newcastle upon Tyne Travel Forum

Hi everyone, I will be traveling to Newcastle on the 14 May. This is my 1st time in England.

I would like to know how much does it cost to travel to Leeds or York for a full day trip.

Hope anyone can give me good advice.
Thanks in advance.

www.nationalrail.co.uk is the offical site which provides train times, details and fares for the whole of the UK.

Newcastle to York takes around an hour. There are frequent direct trains and standard return fare is 26.40GBP You can get two singlestotalling 15GBP, but these must be bought in advance (by 6pm the night before travel)and restrict you to certain trains. The website gives details.

You can also travel by coach (long-distance bus). this is cheaper, but ttakes longer (and is obviously prone to any traffic delay). Journey takes 2.5 - 4+hours (depending on departure time/route) and costs 15.60GBP. www.nationalexpress.com for times, fares and online booking (recommended).

York has so much to see and explore (see my York VT pages) that it really is worth paying the extra train fare to maximise the time you can spend in the city.

Thank you very much, J.

As Leics says York is so easy to get to. I would not really recommend Leeds - there is not a lot for the tourist in the city itself.
