all depends on where you are going.

For example - Huddersfield to leeds 7 day season ticket is about Ł21, and Manchester to Leeds 7 day season is about Ł45


How do i know? I sell them on-train


Ask me for the 2 stations you wish to travell between and I will look in my fare book tomorrow

Why not just phone your areas train company or look up their website on google and go from there?

That way nobody but the person dealing with your query will know where you intend to go!

Thanks,

Andy

pmsl sorry guys i just thought if there was a pass for the year you can get that you wouldnt need destinations.

you can get bus passes that last a year or a month and it doesnt matter where your going, i wondered if there was similar train ones?!

you would be looking at well over a ton for a yearly pass, and not forgetting you have to make sure they are valid with all toc's. Where do you intend to travel?

And the rest

You might be able to get a travel card which will give you a discount on the fare.
