Guest BirdonaMaguire Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 (edited) Little tip for anyone buying these. If you buy direct it's £54 Try Sheffield to York - Cheap day return £19.60 York to Boro - Cheap day return £12.70 Try avoiding changing at Darlo as it bumps up the price, have a few in York then get then the train through, Edited August 19, 2014 by BirdonaMaguire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maldenowl Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 york to boro seems too cheap, whats the 'cheap' day return? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shifty Powers Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 (edited) Yep we are also doing that. Would have been £54 return from Barnsley - but got it down to about £30 using what BM has mentioned. Just a heads up though - its the Ebor festival this week and Saturday will be manic in York.

TheOnlyWayisS6 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Thanks for the tip. Also tearing up ( having a nice, polite early tipple in) York then moving on to Boro. Saved £30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
