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?

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.
