Mmmm, sounds familiar, oh yes, British rail seems to ring a bell.fares have gone up from a few pennies to the point where people can't afford to get on the bus. Lots of places, you can't get to anymore, because the routes weren't considered among the most profitable
That's for a single room in a small hotel Sid, for 4 nights. I booked it well in advance because, last year, I couldn't see anything under £200 a night, and that was for a dormitory bunk in the youth hostel!Wow! That is really expensive. ~$400 a night for a hotel room is pretty rare where I travel in the USA but, I also don't stay in large cities or in hotels around super-touristy places either.
Is driving/carpooling an option? Seems like there may be a few people that could get together and make it a road trip.
Regarding parking though, I remember trying to park in Amsterdam! Ended up about 30km outside of town and took a train back into town.
The cost of train travel is just unbelievable now mate, it's cheaper to fly! They're shutting most of the ticket offices in stations, and taking guards off the trains!Mmmm, sounds familiar, oh yes, British rail seems to ring a bell.
Looking good Mitch, I hope you enjoy using it
Thanks Daniel, you're very kind

As is that Lambsfoot
I don't know if I'm being foolish/stubborn just setting off today, but I'm going to give it a go. Going to involve 2 taxis, 2 trains (I have to change at York now), at least one bus, and a fair bit of walking, but the worst thing will be if I have to stand up on the train, which is practically a certainty, with the previous trains being cancelled, and no longer having a seat booked If the weather is like this in Whitby, Tool Man will be waking up in his Austin K9, to a glorious start to the day, with fine views over the North Sea. I used to camp on those cliffs myself, and it's a great spot. Unfortunately, from what he was saying last night, the awful weather is going to have a big impact on the steam rally. Sad for the organisers, and all the caterers, and other businesses that'll lose out. A bad year can end an event like that for good, though hopefully not this one. There'll just be Boring Ray down at the market today, and Nobber Al, to represent our usual gang, but I dare say Special Needs Scott, and a few of the others will call by for a chat. Hope you all have a good day Guardians I'll try to keep Lucy out of trouble

And often the foolish!
Bet you'll be glad to get back in the swing Bill!Good morning Guardians. Unseasonably cool this morning but it feels great. Heading off to the links today. When I get back I'll be carrying my trusty HHB. Yard work too. The weeds are taking over!

Glad your decision is working out Jack.I'm now at York station, waiting to leave on the train to Scarborough, and I have a seat!

Thanks guys, the bus from Whitby to Scarborough was 10 minutes late getting into Scarborough, which meant I just caught it for the return journey. This bus journey is supposed to be one of the most scenic in Britain, but unfortunately, I'm stuck on the lower deck. I got talking to a couple from New Zealand's South Island in the bus queue. They hadn't met

yet, but they seemed like very nice people anyway!
Thanks Steve.Thanks Bob and you as well !
