London - Leeds
Hi, During my vacation to London this coming August I plan on taking a side trip to Leeds, West Yorkshire. I was wondering if anyone knew of a cheap, quick, and easy way to get from London to Leeds, West Yorkshire. I have limited knowledge of the rail and other systems. All suggestions are appreciated.
Thank you kindly, benoilers

Quick and easy is on GNER trains from London King's Cross. Every 30 minutes, trip about 2:10 to 2:30.

Cost will depend on type of tickets, advance purhcase, etc...

Trains run every half hour and take about two and a quarter hours. Look at www.nationalrail.co.uk.

There are also buses from Leeds to London, which my son used several times when he was in Leeds for a year abroad. He said the buses were cheaper, but that may have been because he didn't get advance tickets. I remember that we saved quite a bit on rail travel by booking in advance and selecting off hours.

KarenW,
Did your son use National Express?

benoilers - you don't have to register to check dates and prices. I used to use National Express years ago (pre website )to travel from Yorkshire to London, the buses were always clean and on time.
Have a great time, it's a wonderful part of the country.
