Getting TO/AROUND: York is just over two hours from London by train. We travelled from London's King's Cross with GNER trains for only 19 pounds return. To get a fare this cheap, you need to book a few weeks in advance. Also, when you are booking make sure you book two singles rather than a return as for some reason it works out cheaper. For example, when booking our fare the cheapest return was 72 pounds. When we clicked on the option to book two singles it cost 9.50 each way, a saving of 53 pounds! I've no idea why this anomaly exists but I've been using it for ages to book cheap fares.
York station is just outside the town walls, about half a kilomtere from the old centre of the city. Railway enthusiasts will love York. The station, complleted in 1877, is one of the finest in England. If you have time to spare while waiting for a train, there is a model railway exhibition in the station building, while the National Railway Museum is a short walk away on Leeman Road.
