I'd not heard anything about the turnip incident. Sounds quite the adventure!
Getting back to the main point of the post, you make some interesting points about the X11 in your original comment.
Assuming you're putting on a show at The Grand and you have an overnighter, you will be OK to get back using your CAT pass the next evening.
However, your roadies will presumably have to buy a single in each direction. Quite an expensive trip and not one I personally would want to make, after a few hairs on the dog whilst watching the clock all day for the trip back.
I'm not too sure if there's been any comments about the pricing of the tickets, but I'd hope they were set up for more than day-trippers once the daily service kicks in over the summer.
You raise some very valid points here and I think I've came up with an interesting business opportunity for myself, my roadies, and Go North East.
As we've learned, there will be a short X11 service operating from Scarborough to Whitby and back again. As a world-renowned artist, I'm willing to perform on this service for a cut-price fee in order to drum up punters and, in return, my roadies can travel on the full service for free.
Can't say any fairer than that!
