And then maybe stay somewhere again on wed go back thurs probably a bit expensive but an idea. Or maybe fly ive heard that can be cheqper than trains
I can’t afford hotels a day on either side of the event on top of the other costs. In any case there will be overtime bans before and after the rail strikes so travel by that means could still be chaotic in the days surrounding.
Update: my application for a refund on the rail tickets has been accepted and I’ll get repaid within the next few days. However, I can find no feasible alternative way of getting there by public transport from where I live, so I shall have to miss Whitby.
