I think it is mentioned early on in this thread. Tend not to pay that fare, after having my fingers burned - so no idea what it is these days.

The £2.80 is a bargain fare. Totally agree.
Curious to find out the return fare, coupled with a return to the town on the metro from Heworth, to see how it compares to the day ticket alternatives.

Normally a return fare for a £2.80 single is £4.70.

So £4.70 return + £3.70 metro return is £8.40. So a day ticket would still be cheaper. Not sure how much a return is on the bus though.
