Ideas for a day trip?

[crispy1978]

Last year, I did the Tyne & Tees rover, which picked up nearly all of the stations on the route (think we missed 3 which weren't physically possible).

I've managed to pick up a lot of South and West Yorkshire up over the years so not sure how much value there will be in spending a day doing those rovers.

Any ideas (I'm from Scarborough) of a decent way to pick up some stations either utilising, or not utilising (easy either way) a day rover?

Not many day rangers up there at Scarborough,think an East Yorkshire Coast Ranger would cover you to Hull all day.

South Pennines is also an option from Leeds I believe.

The Greater Manchester Rail Ranger is excellent value at only £5.00. You should be able to get Advances on TPE direct from Scarborough to Manchester Piccadilly/Manchester Airport.

I'd say that is an excellent idea especially if the OP has already seen the area around Leeds. I got a couple of advance tickets heading the other way from Liverpool to Leeds for about £28 all in first class! Plenty of stuff to see railway wise around Manchester as well as lovely scenery.

East Yorkshire Round Robin?

Some great ideas there, thanks.

Will have a ponder and see what suits me best.

I'm also down in Birmingham/Coventry in June - so might spend a day doing some travelling there to tick off a few more stations!
