Which end the loco is on
A TPE-only rover may be good even if £40 or so for the day? I would have to pay a nominal amount to get to the TPE network but it'd be viable in my eyes
‘North of England 4 in 8-day Rover’There is one of sorts, I think. Will try and dig out the details.
Twice as many bogs as a 185!
That's good to see, more tables than needed though, perhaps?
I think they've tried to strike a balance: the predominance of airline seats in the DT makes that vehicle ideal for those doing shorter trips such as from Huddersfield to Leeds or Victoria, Manchester to Liverpool, and Leeds-York. Just a shame that it'll be at the far end of platforms at Huddersfield!Twice as many bogs as a 185!

Least I now know to try & use Coach A wherever possible to get a non-table seat. Being a big guy (tall & fat) makes it irritating to get in/out of table seats (esp stopper services to Dewsbury where half the train decamps there). Thankfully the commute from Leeds to Huddersfield isn't too bad and I'll finally have a seat!
‘North of England 4 in 8-day Rover’
Liverpool-Manchester (all stations)-Leeds (and on to Hull) for £79
‘North of England City Experience 4 in 8-day Rover’
As above but includes York (and on to Newcastle) for £99.
Valid only on TPE, not before 09:30 weekdays. Railcard discounts apply.

Unfortunately, nothing that includes York-Scarborough (or later Middlesbrough).
Hope that helps
The prices look quite reasonable to me, especially compared with pay on the day tickets.
Thanks for that, greatly appreciated.Try this one

North Country Rover 4 in 8. Bit pricey, but works out at around £25 per day. Includes York-Scarborough and Middlesbrough.

Haha! I’ve had many a spin on the West Yorkshire ticketsI think I'll be sticking to West Yorkshire Day Rovers and work trips to Manchester - and perhaps a day out at the seaside.
Clearly I'm not hard core!
One thing's for sure: I'll be planning my Batley to Huddersfield trips with a change into the Middlesbrough-Airport at Dewsbury once they're loco-hauled... at least until the novelty wears off ! The West Riding pub will probably benefit from that!Haha! I’ve had many a spin on the West Yorkshire tickets
Ooops! That sounds a bit grim. Any official word on the problems?All Mk5a training has been suspended due to ongoing issues with the sets.
