The boss is going for a weekend in York, flying into Leeds Bradford Airport.

I have tried various sites to organise transfers, either by rail or coach with no success. Does anyone know this neck of the woods ? Is it possible to get from York to the Leeds airport by one or the other?

National express just says no. very helpful!

Many fanks.

And a great railway museum. And it was one of the four major roman cities in England.

Coastie

It has a Cathedral too!

(see I do know something about York!)

Patsy

Tigereye
10-06-2005, 01:56 PM
well you lot, I've told the boss I can't organise his transfers 'cos you won't help me.....:cry:


surely to god you can get a bus from the airport to York - but all the googling isn't throwing anything up....... He's to get to a place called Harome.....for a party no less. swine.

I'll tell him to visit the feckin cathedral and the museum, but I've got to get him there first :wallbash:

Harome is about 35 to 40 miles from Leeds/Bradford Airport so he might be best to hire a care TE!

Tigereye
10-06-2005, 02:41 PM
I agree, but for some reason he doen't want to :angry: !!


Think I'll just tell him to roll up his trousers and stick his thumb out........:devil:

Patsy

Would this help? Or is it just for your amusement?

Coastie

York Minster!

Have you had a look at the Leeds Airport website?

www.lbia.co.uk/

That should answer most of your questions - avoid renting a car in York - traffic is horrendous......

Oh, the grand old Duke of York,

Andrea
10-06-2005, 04:25 PM
He had ten thousand men:w00t:

He marched them up to the top of the hill and then he marched them down again Why? :shocking:

dab
10-06-2005, 04:27 PM
And when they were up they were up.

Coastie
10-06-2005, 04:38 PM
And when they were down the were down...

dab
10-06-2005, 04:42 PM
And when they were only halfway up...

Andrea

The grand old Duke of York realised what a bunch of tossers he'd chosen:w00t:

What I would like to know is why the swear filter lets you say tosser but not ar*se?

And you can say prat and bitch.

Andrea

I wondered when I typed it whether it would come out, oh well, mine is not to question why. :w00t:

What I would like to know is why the swear filter lets you say tosser but not ar*se?

Because on Shrove Tuesday when we may wish to discuss the merits or otherwise of tossing pancakes, it's only reasonable that we should be able to describe those that do toss as tossers!

Whereas I cannot think of any other use for the word ar*se ;)

BTW - what's this got to do with York?

Absolutely nothing, a bit like the rest of this thread. :huh:

But you can't say sh*t .......

Well, "ar*sehole" of course! :)

Tigereye - Leeds Bradford Airport is sort of in the middle of nowhere, but it will have taxi and car rental. The last time I was there, I wasn't aware of any rail links.

I think your boss needs to get a taxi. And I know he doesn't want to hire a car - but that is another option.

It is that or the bus I am afraid!!

He's probably gone now, but I say taxi from airport to Leeds station, (it was about £12 a couple of years ago) and then there are frequent trains to York (about 30 mins journey)

Marmoset
10-06-2005, 09:02 PM
I would agree Fee, theres nowhere to park in York anyway :)

TE this is my neck of the woods!
Until a few months ago you could take the 747 from the airport to Bfd Interchange and then take a train, but for some reason they knocked the airport bus off, folk are going mad, especially my parents as they can't get back from the pub at night.
I suggest you take a taxi to Leeds train station (not far) and then the direct route to York

So now I don't have to do nuffink :angel_not
