I'm just completing the first week of a 1st class ALR and, as usual, it's been good fun but not helpful to my waistline due to the Virgin breakfasts! As others have said, A Travelodge can be a cheap and clean place to stay the night. Rugby Travelodge is in a brilliant location adjacent to the station and with great views of the trains speeding past. I based myself there for the first four days of the ALR last week
I hope you have tried the East Coast offerings at meal times too. Despite criticisms from this forum, I still find them much better than Virgin's offerings, having tried them myself last week. Also make sure that you give Hull Trains a go, especially at lunchtime when no one else offers a full meal.
Are you going to write a trip report?
