Airport for York/Leeds

I would second Jinos. Damn good food. If you want some tex/mex then the Caliente Cafe is nice too.

How come we have never met? I practically live there on weekends - well, used to, anyways! 

And Elynor: take the train and then catch the number 1 bus on Infirmary Street (near the train station), as they run very often: http://www.leeds.gov.uk/files/2005/week37/inter__46AFB47B193D1C4680256E0F00539325_0707ec24-3b5c-4e6f-b9d4-2c76adb2027d.pdf

Thanks!

I'm a hermit.

I only live in Kirkstall, we'll have to arrange another Leeds meetup sometime soon.

That's too funny, nearly neighbour. PM sometime! 

Please tell me this is going to be a fantastic trip. I hate traveling alone, especially when it involves public transport, and I'm feeling irrationally nervous.  Yorkshire had better be worth it!

Leeds and York are great cities - you'll have a blast! 

You can come and see our Medieval walls in York!  They are quite cool.    Public transport (if you know the lines you need, as provided by others) is a snap here.  You'll be fine.  Trains run between York and Leeds every half hour.  Besides, York is only a mile across, inside the walls, which makes it hard to get too lost!

You underestimate my capacity for getting lost! I wish I could go see the medieval walls, but I'm not going to see much besides bad PowerPoint. Dratted work.

If you're going to be in York city centre then you really can't miss the walls because the city is literally surrounded by them. It's a shame if you miss it, York is awesome. So full of history.

And don't worry about public transport. It's dead easy and you're going to a busy town that is full of tourists so people are used to other people not knowing their way around.

Yes, I used to catch a glimpse of the elusive Ashley every now & then on the 50(A) line bus.

'Till I got fed up of the 50(A) line bus & try to limit my bus riding exclusively (whenever possible) to the 97(A) line.

Thanks everybody, it ended up being a great trip. I got in some good gaping at the York walls from the bus and taxi--gorgeous! We will definitely be back to York sometime when we can see everything properly.

I didn't have any major problems with transport, just a little trouble with finding my bus stop in Leeds, but that was due to my own disorientation and inability to read maps. 

Yorkshire is every bit as lovely, and the people every bit as friendly, as I'd been led to believe. 

Let us know next time you are in York or Leeds and have some free time.  I'm sure there are plenty of us who'd be happy to meet you!

Glad you had a good time!  Hope you had a good journey back!

I'm glad you had a nice time

Hooray for Yorkshire - the Texas of England??!!!
