Aye it's an option! Will have a DayRover over that way anyway. The thinking was to get a bus trip in wherever I went, hence using the Stagecoach Gold, rather than train for a leg of my Carlisle day.
I've updated day 4. Going to do Nottingham instead, as I've plenty opportunity to do Preston and Blackburn at other times.

Not many places they run alongside each other, but it is possible.
The market square is a nice background too.
Bradford has the guided busway.
York and Carlisle have the historic buildings as a backdrop.
It is a while since I have been to Hull and Preston, but in Preston you have the bus station. Both offer a range of operators.
York is decent, Dan got some photos in the places I suggested the other week.
Wakefield is blurry as I have only been there on a stag do. Seem to remember the buses stop near Wetherspoons and operate in a circle.
Will rack my brains for the other places.
Cheers. Don't know much about the Nottingham trams, but will look them up. Quite enjoyed photograpphing the Edinburgh and Blackpool trams. I'll give those York locations a shot too.
I kept the amount of travel for Day 1 down to a minimum, so I could pencil in a trip to the NRM in before I head home. I think I'll do that by taking Whitby out of the equation, and just do that another day on an Explorer ticket.
