The number of lil' bits of card required to get 2 people and 2 bikes from Knaresborough to Newcastle and back for the first and last leg of this year's bike tour.
Bit daft!

Pedant alert - should that be 'and back to Knaresborough' otherwise you can discard the top piece of paper?
In the sunny south east you can get a card to have all your journeys on. No paper, tap in and out as necessary.
Assume other train companies do similar.
With bicycles?
Normally I have my train tickets on the trainline app but the taking bicycles element requires printing out all the bits of card.
Local trains, non busy times, just turn up with your bike. Bit of a pain when the local station requires several steps to the platform.
But I suppose going further afield the rail companies might like the chance to charge.
My last big journey with a bike was TGV to Brussels. Used to have to hang them up in a special compartment.

LNER is the East Coast Mainline operator, the other is TransPennine which would probably be cancelled anyway.Then York to Newcastle which is either East Coast Mainline or LNER

That's the nice thing about folders, although probably no consolation to you on a tour. Enjoy!
