Hull Paragon Interchange is the main bus and train station serving the city centre of Hull in the…read moreEast Riding of Yorkshire. It's right next to St Stephen's Shopping Centre. It's by no means the largest station in the country but is certainly adequate for a city the size of Hull. There are six active platforms, it's easy to get between them after passing through the ticket gates and there are a small number of seats to wait before boarding your train. The majority of train services that serve this station are operated by TransPennine Express, which also manages the station. Other operators serving the station include Northern Trains, Hull Trains and the occasional LNER service. I did notice a lack of staff around the station, I had to end up asking a police officer for directions as I struggled to find my way around the station and the city, after arriving for the first time, while he did seem helpful, I felt like a police officer had better things to do than offer directions to a lost and confused tourist. There's a small number of outlets inside the station to pick up a drink, with the traditional offerings of Costa, Starbucks and WHSmith being available. I would advise going to the Starbucks inside St Stephen's nearby if you have more time, however, as the one inside the station costs significantly more and does not accept Starbucks cards. The bus station part of the Interchange is certainly showing its' age, it isn't the most comfortable place to wait for a bus and it's obvious that it hasn't had any money spent on it in years. 3* - OK, certainly nice for a place the size of Hull which is so out in the sticks that the transport options are very limited anyway.

While in the UK for work I ended-up using the Hull Interchange quite a few times and every time it…read morewas clean, the staff was helpful and nice, many reader boards in appropriate locations, and several kiosks to purchase tickets. To top it off, it's located downtown Hull, a great location for the weary traveler who needs a coffee pick-me-up, food or a hotel.

Paul was very helpful with our luggage and even provided a carseat for our 10 month old which saved us from having to include that in our luggage saving a few quid there! Would highly reccommend and will definately be using Paul again.

Sometimes they can't maje that time but maybe 5 mins later, but at least they tell me and don't just pretend they can make that time so I will book. Also the text back service is reliable. Much much better, I'll be sticking with these from now on. My daughter is on time for school once again.

P & O Ferries

I travel fairly frequently with P&O Ferries from Hull to Rotterdam or Zeebrugge as I really enjoy…read moresailing and the mini break experience. The ferries leave between 1700 and 2130 and you check in a few hours before. On board you are alocated a small but perfectly formed practical and comfy cabin. The crossing happens overnight and you are at your chosen dock early in the AM. The prices are very reasonable and it is best to opt for all meals onboard at the time of booking. The food is a hot buffet type Restaurant and is all you can eat) It is always good qaulity with plenty of choice and there is a good salad bar and soups on offer. There is also a more expensive Ala Carte Restaurant onboard. Finally there is a cafe that serves tea and coffee til 0100, sandwiches are also available. The bars are open until around 0100 and the prices are mid range. there is a live band on each Evening and they are pretty good, quite similar to the club type cabaret style. Generally the crossings are peaceful, but the wend crossing can be pretty lively with Stag and Hen type parties and the beer monster guzzling types( ohh what a snob i sound... Bruges is a lovely tranquil place for a day out and Amsterdam certainly has it's own charms to offer. The typical ferry trip is a 2 night sail and a full day in the chosen resort. You can of course opt for a night in the resort for an extended stay. Service on the ferry is generally very good, although the Zeebrugge crossing is a larger, newer more stylish vessel, where the Staff are mainly Philipino very polite and helpful and tend to be a cut above the mainly Portugese staff on the other crossing. The cabins are clean and well appointed and are all on suite with bunk type beds. I would really recommend these mini breaks for a trip and my recent trip cost under £100 for x2 nights, all food onboard and return resort coach travel)

The P & O Ferries are great for low cost breaks! We recently went on the P & O Ferry to Bruges…read more Very good value return travel on the ferry and we took the option that P & O give you of staying an extra night in Bruges. There's plenty of bars on the ferry, also a small cinema and a couple of shops. The restaurants were really well organised and it was good food. Our cabin was compact, but clean and had everything you need. The ferry itself is kept to a high standard. The only downside we felt was that the main entertainment bar was the smoking bar. (i.e. You couldn't smoke anywhere else on the ferry but here and outside so it was very smokey). Not being a smoker I found this a little bit annoying (probably because we've become so used to people not being able to smoke in bars and restaurants over here). That aside, I would definitely recommend using P & O for short breaks. If you have the option book outside of school holiday time as it's so much more relaxing when it's not as busy!

Only 4 or 5 checking in desks but that is plenty based on the traffic that come through it. It's a little secret airport that not many people know about and Ithink i woukd like to keep it like that . From there you cantravel to Schipol airport in Amsterday in about an hour an then the world id your oyster!!!!! I love the fact that while in the waiting loung (not much bigger than a standard house lounge!!!!) you can see your plain arrive and get on to the plane immediately - you don't have the long waiting times that you tend to get with the big airports. If I was to suggest something for improvement then perhaps a lrger range of sandwiches - but not much else!!!

One of the big bonuses about humberside airport, for those who live in Hull and surrounding areas,…read moreis that it is very near. Getting to Manchester can take forever but from Hull to Humberside airport is a mere 30 minutes, or so, in taxi. The airport is very small and has a sort of cosy atmosphere. However shops are very limited and expensive. It is better to pack up for the airport than try the cafes unless you want to pay an arm and a leg. Also it can take ages to get served. The duty free area is not bad for such a small airport. Humberside is only used by some travel companies and to some destinations. Parking is not bad.
