Northern Rail Le Yorkshire Ticket

[northernchris]

Found this on Northern's website which is advertising a 1 day ticket for £9 and a weekend ticket for £14 on the 5-6th July for the Tour de France. However one thing I'm not clear on is does this ticket have to be used travelling to/from the event, or can it be used as a day rover type ticket? At £9 for the day, it seems like a perfect way of travelling round Yorkshire for the day!

I read it as you can travel where you want so long as it's between stations on the list.

Just annoyed it doesn't come out as far as Chesterfield

Edit ... this is clearer when you click 'Buy': http://tickets.northernrail.org/le-yorkshire

As I read it, the list of stations are all in WY, all in SY, plus zone 6 (to Harrogate), zone 7 (to skipton), plus the rest of Leeds York (inc) via both routes. Northern services only.
