Have you got railcards?

If you haven't, then buy it/them before you buy your tickets. Returns to Edinburgh from Leeds are going to be £80-100 each, call it £170 total. You would get 1/3 off with a card, so that would be about £57.

Individual Senior railcards cost £30/year or £70/3 years but if you buy a 'Two Together' card it is only £30/year. With one of them then you could save £25+ on this one trip, and you'd make further savings of 1/3 on any other trips over the following year. Note: Off-peak only (after 09:30), and you both have to travel together for the card to be valid (the name is a giveaway!).

Morning. Bit overcast but dry so a little 20 mile bimble done as there might be rain later. Uneventful apart from a deliberate close pass by someone in a VW Polo. There was a gentleman walking on the road coming towards me so I moved well over towards the centre of the road to pass him. The dick in the Polo was still way back at the time and I was back in to the side but he still moved over really close as if to punish me by daring to being over the road a bit for a few seconds. Probably some little scrote with a shrivelled up willy that couldn't even get his leg over a bike, or anything else! :laugh:

My first record player was a Dansette too. :laugh: Nice dark blue colour.

Don’t forget that if you have hearing aids it’s only £20 and your “ carer” can travel with the same discount

We have railcard and like you say it is near that price,we booked two weeks ago and it's £60 return,what I am saying why is it cheaper to start and stop a journey when the same station York being used.When the card does expire I will be getting the hearing aid card.
