Setting you a challenge.

[postman]

I have put together another ride for my mates 55th birthday,after finding out how much the train fare was.£30-50p.I really would like to go to Bridlington.
So you lot out there in CC land.Try to find me the way to get home on the train system.the day out is Weds 17th June,like i said his 55th birthday.We would leave Leeds at 09-30.So with a bit of grub at the end in Bridlington i think we should be ready to leave at 17-30 to 18-30.
So get me home to Leeds.For less than £30.
If you take this challenge you have four weeks to work it out.
I am also going to try.
So, times, prices and stations please.Mind the doors,thank you.

Is the fair for four adults travelling together, or just one individual?

I sorted out your gripe in your grump thread. The answer is in there, 50% of your £30, which station to change at and a major clue as to how to buy your tickets.

Now do your homework.

East Coast, about halfway up.
That's a Bedlington Terrier, not a Bridlington Terrier, according to the picture

Ah my canine dyslexia strikes again! Still cute though! I reckon the postman should go to Bedlington instead...a nice 115 mile run. No idea how much the train back would be!

According to the train line, a single from Bridlington to Leeds via hull is £30.50, on the 17.36 or 18.41, arriving 19.43 or 20.59. That's not much more than £30!

Get the 845 Coastliner bus. The plus is that its free for concession pass holders. The minus is that it takes 3 hours.

Not all bus drivers are open to carrying bicycles either

The 50p is a deal breaker!

Vern's already told him how to do it for half the price...

Yes that would be a problem. Stupidly didn't read the OP properly. Just thought he was visiting and not wanting to organise a ride.

So he's a tightar$e given it's his mate's birthday

He's from Yorkshire..... he's not tight, just very careful with his money

 

[vickster]

Quibbling over 50p is tight in my book

I used to live in Bridlington, it's a dump. Save your £30 and go out in Leeds.
