(15 Aug 2014, 3:11 pm)NEBCD Malarkey wrote If was to do it myself it would be like this
06:39 - 4 - Washington to Heworth - 06:55
07:08 - X9 - Heworth to Middlesbrough - 08:10
08:50 - X93 - Middlesbrough to Scarborough - 11:03
11:25 - 121 - Scarborough to Hull - 14:15
Could be done a lot quicker if there was earlier Journeys on the X93 to Scarborough before 08:50, and if the the X21 from Hull was more frequent, rather than once a Day at 04:15(I think) from Scarbrough, which is what came up on the Eyms Website.
(15 Aug 2014, 4:29 pm)aureolin wrote Close to 8 hours to get to Hull? A 16 hour round trip is insane. As a rule of thumb, I'll get the train if the bus is going to take in excess of 2 hours.
(15 Aug 2014, 4:34 pm)NEBCD Malarkey wrote I couldn't find a National Express or Megabus Service which goes to Hull from up here either, Reckon it would have to be stop over night job, if you were to do it that way, just to make it worth the time and effort.

(15 Aug 2014, 4:40 pm)Kuyoyo wrote Unless you get the train, any trip by service bus or National Express would mean at least 2 nights in Hull to justify it.
The National Express is the Parks-operated 534. The Southbound departure leaves Newcastle at 1400 (Sunderland at 1430 and Middlesbrough at 1510) arriving in Hull at 1930. The return journey leaves Hull at 0735, arriving in Newcastle at 1250 (Middlesbrough at 1130 and Sunderland at 1215).

(15 Aug 2014, 4:46 pm)NEBCD Malarkey wrote Makes my "Malarkey Marathons" look Justifiable, and surely you can go from Newcastle to Hull in less than 5 and Half Hours by Bus/Coach, Only took 3 Hours when I went to Leeds last month, I would argue it's roughly the same distance.
(15 Aug 2014, 4:48 pm)Kuyoyo wrote 534 goes from Middlesbrough to York (1620) then Leeds arriving there at 1705 (where it has a 55 minutes layover, departing 1800) then to Hull.
(15 Aug 2014, 4:52 pm)aureolin wrote Still quite a clart on. About 5 hours+ each way I reckon?
(15 Aug 2014, 4:54 pm)NEBCD Malarkey wrote That just seems rather stupid to me, should have it like this. no idea on NX Route Numbers (535) is just an example, this would then cut out 2 Hours of the Journey for those Travelling to Hull.
534 - Newcastle - Sunderland - Middlesborough - York - Hull
535 - Newcaste - Sunderland - Middlesborough - Leeds
(15 Aug 2014, 4:54 pm)Andreos Constantopolous wrote Leeds to Hull is under 2hrs, so it will just depend on connections/timings as to how long the entire journey takes.

(15 Aug 2014, 4:57 pm)aureolin wrote Coach to Leeds would be about 3 hours too. Then there's getting to Newcastle or Sunderland to catch the coach. So an extra 30 mins for arguments sake.
(15 Aug 2014, 4:58 pm)aureolin wrote I honestly can't see many people wanting to go from Newcastle to Hull though. Or even go to Hull at all for that matter...There are regular enough rail connections for those that want to do it.

(17 Aug 2014, 6:26 pm)Dan wrote Was quite shocked that an adult single Edinburgh - Dunfermline is £5.50... The train is 30p more and the journey takes 20 minutes less!
An adult return is £5.70, and a child return is just £2.85.
(17 Aug 2014, 7:47 pm)Dan wrote And looks like it's £5.30 for an off-peak single between Newcastle and Durham (much to my surprise, as I thought it was a lot more expensive than that) - for a 13-18 minute journey opposed to 1hr 3min.

(17 Aug 2014, 9:15 pm)tyresmoke wrote Plus of course trains are even cheaper if you book in advance. I went from Thornaby to Dunfermline for £15.50 yesterday afternoon (YP railcard). Some of the fares in Scotland are "impressive" on the buses though. Having said that the express network can be great value!
(27 Aug 2014, 4:49 pm)Tom wrote Just found out the Child Explorer is priced at £4.00 until the 31st August.
However, I was charged, on the three occasions I bought one, £7.50. So that means I'm £10.50 out of pocket.
Not sure what to do? I'm sure I still have at least one of the tickets too, so might email them.
