Transport alert

Standard Saturday

Nothing unusual in the York diary for this date. Book advance rail tickets 12 weeks out and check the operator's works page the Monday before.

Ground note

The ground is well out of the historic centre on a retail park — allow time for the bus if walking from the station.

Ground note

York's tourist crowds can make the city-centre streets slow going before you even set off for the ground.
