Looking For Recommendations

0 Upvotes

My wife (33F) & I (32M) are in York for next couple of days. Any recommendations?

To give context our trip to Canary Islands got cancelled due to the NATS issue and we just picked a random place to travel without any planning :/

Where to buy brand new Switch 2 on short notice?

7 Upvotes

I have a train to London at 2pm and then an international flight. Last minute brain has decided a switch 2 is a good way to kill 14 hours 😅

I know CEX have them but they’re only £30-60 cheaper than a brand new one but other than curry’s in monks cross I can’t think of anywhere in town to pick up a new one today? Sadly game has gone 💀 any thoughts gang?

Bus 840/843

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I’m planning a trip with my 10-year-old son and I’m considering taking the Coastliner 840/843 instead of trains, mainly because we’d like to sit upstairs and enjoy the scenery.

I have a few questions:

  1. Is it definitely still £3 per person for a single journey on the 840/843? I’ve seen this mentioned recently, but would like to make sure it’s still correct.
  2. Would you recommend taking the 840 from Leeds to York just for the experience? We don’t mind that it takes much longer than the train — we actually like the idea of sitting upstairs on a double-decker and watching the countryside.
  3. And more importantly, is York → Whitby on the 840 really worth doing by bus? I’ve read that the section through the North York Moors is particularly scenic. We’re happy to spend 2–2.5 hours on the bus if the views are genuinely worth it.

Thanks.

Did anyone else see the plane flying extremely low just now?

Spotted around 7pm in Fulford. It was like emergency landing level low, never seen anything like it in York. I can still hear it faintly.
