Trains from London to York

About the London to York train

A date and a head count are all the search asks for, and the results are for that day only. York to London is looked up on its own, so for both legs run the return as well and compare the fares; buying each leg on its own date can be cheaper or dearer, and only the live results will tell you which. On arrival you walk out of the station, cross the Ouse by Lendal Bridge and you are in the old centre, with the Minster rising above the lanes. The walls can be walked almost all the way round and give a view over the roofs and the river. The railway museum is on the station side of the river, which makes it an easy call before the train back. York has hotels inside the walls, along the river and out by the station; the sample here is a starting point and the search covers the catalogue. For a stay built around walking, inside the walls is the simpler choice. For an early train south, the station side saves the crossing.
