Personally think paying a total £2 to go from Leeds to York and back is an excellent promotional offer to take advantage of, note it is only valid between March 27th 2016 and April 2nd 2016 if your planning on making a trip, Also Bus Services in Leeds and York have changed quite a lot since I was last down there in July 2014, in terms of New Vehicles, so it will be nice to get photos of the updated fleets also, with Transdevs new Cityzap/StreetDecks on the 36, Arriva with MAX/Sapphire Services, Eyms with the EvoSetis/B5TLs & E400MMCs on the X46, and finally First Leeds with there 14reg E400s and the recently repainted B5LHs, so plenty of photo opportunities to be had, all I need to do is book my Megabus Tickets.
I quite enjoyed my trip to York yesterday, there is some quite nice scenery around York. I didn't actually sample any buses whilst I was over there yesterday but think I spent most of my time there well, apart from getting a bit lost at one point trying to find some lunch. I spent a bit time at the CityZap launch and I saw a few ethusiasts whilst I was over there. I've uploaded a few photos and there is more to come, see this Flickr album: https://www.flickr.com/photos/127079988@...6129104726
Leeds is on my list of places to do, I am maybe thinking of aiming for sometime in May which will be dependent on my availability as there is a few other bus things I am looking to do in the upcoming months.
At least I seem to be getting more confident at using the train which is good especially as I am planning on using the train more in the summer, although I may have panicked if it was my train that had been cancelled rather than my friend's. Managed to handle things smoothly enough including collecting my tickets from the machines which take an age. I got Virgin Trains East Coast to York and got my first experience of First TransPennine Express for my journey back to Darlington.
Think this is my favourite photo from yesterday.
