EDIT: Just looked at website, I see it takes just over an hour from Hartlepool to York, the same time it takes from Newcastle.....

Went down on the train on the Monday, booked the tickets 3 days before online, but I had to go to the train station at Hartlepool and use the self service machine to get my tickets, had to put my debit card in the machine and then take it back out and type in a reference number in what I was given online and then the machine spits out the tickets lol.

Don't know what the fares would be if you go the same day, Grand Central trains website has all the fares on.

The trains that I was on was busy even though there were a lot of old folks on the train.
