(21 Apr 2016, 2:23 pm)Andreos1 The return will be £20 plus.
Obviously by having the ranger and the railcard discount - not only do you potentially save a few quid, it gives you a lot more flexibility.
You can get on/off as many times as you like.

(21 Apr 2016, 2:40 pm)Jimmi Thanks both.
I will bare this in mind if I decide to get the train to Whitby on that day, I will certainly be travelling as Middlesbrough on the morning on Northern due to the lacking of early morning buses to Darlington, unsure about getting home but I will have more time to spend in Scarborough now as I'll have more options of getting home as the 5A starts running on a Sunday night the week before so this gives me two buses home from Darlington rather than just the one that I have now.
Seeing how far it's valid I may even do a train day round the North East one day as something different.
I will be able to buy it on the train won't I?

(21 Apr 2016, 3:06 pm)Andreos1 I assume so. Particularly if the station doesn't have ticket buying facilities.
There are a few rangers and robins that are worth looking at.
I think some of the lake district ones are valid on rail and bus. I certainly looked in to it in the past and they were then.

(21 Apr 2016, 3:50 pm)Jimmi May look into all these ranger and robin tickets. Me and Fozz were once talking to an enthusiast in Park Lane who was staying in a hotel somewhere out of the North East and was visiting various other places over the course of a week.

Never knew about the rally then, I still need to get past James Cook Hospital(!) on the Nunthorpe/Whitby line. Also need to do the NYMR but that can wait.
I may do this in this case, Jimmi - I'll let you know nearer the time.
Finally popped me Metro cherry today!

What a dark, dim, depressing place the Metro is
Oh and yes that is a terrible selfie!

(05 May 2016, 8:06 pm)MurdnunoC I don't know, the Pyongyang Metro System looks pretty good too.
Granted, its design takes influence from the subway systems of other Communist countries. And, of course, there's always the lingering doubt over whether it is this presentable all of the time.

Would love to experience it - no matter how unlikely that is!!

Spent a cracking few hours at Cragside, earlier.
Big'un decided that since the food in the kitchen was fake, everything else must have been. I had to explain to him what the funny toilet with Taps really was. He was slightly disappointed to only see one bus there. I explained that Lird Armstrong was a very clever man but hadn't really needed to construct a bus station.
We also took a wrong turn off the easy walk. I didn't have my stick with me and I was out of breath with nerves in tatters by the time we reached the house from the iron bridge!
