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.

Until that lottery win comes in though I'll have to settle for a fleet of Vespas. Whilst they are getting their service, it's back to the board and public transport ago. Leeds is pretty well covered on the main buse routes and West Yorkshire Metro are the main suppliers. Now we all grumble about the service and standard in this country but I have to say Metro aren't half bad. What I will rave about is the free city centre buses, excellent. Metro's freecitybus links Leeds' rail and bus stations, business and shopping districts, the General Infirmary, Universities and Park Lane College. Not half bad Jack, especially as they run every few minutes from 6.30am till 7.30pm. You'll also find plenty of buses taking you to the outskirts of the city. Particularly handy if you want to venture to the football at Elland Road or the rugby and cricket at Headingley. They aren't perfect, but hell what is these days. However, after a day hitting the shops or getting home from work you really can't slam the service they provide.

It does also include a National Express area, for more long distance coach services to cities such as London. Most of the bus services from the station are served by First West Yorkshire, however, some are provided by Arriva, Stagecoach and Harrogate Bus Company. I don't like the idea of buses reversing out of the bus station, which seems to be the case here. I do like the screens above the individual stands to show the time of the buses, but it would be nice to see more information such as where each individual bus serves (the main towns/areas), as I did have to use Google Maps to accompany the information provided, this, of course, isn't a resource everyone would have. 3*

I've gotta tell you, folks, this was a splendid ride. Aside from the old man hacking across the way from us on our northward trip, and the uncontrolled little kids nearby on our journey south, everything was grand on this voyage aboard an East Coast train. We got food and beverage service, complimentary Wi-Fi, and friendly staff members who were more than happy to fill up my teacup again and again if I wanted more. Talk about a smooth ride, too. You could barely tell we were speeding along as fast as we were. And the views of the North Sea are stunning outside. Ah... I wish I was back again right now. I'll be sure to book with National Express next time I travel in this region.

Yes, Virgin Trains is a great rail company, but National Express EC trumps it for the following reasons: 1. Coach seats have more legroom. A lot more. 2. Seats are comfortable.

Last time he managed to plan a visit home, Hull Trains cancelled the train he had bought tickets for and we ended up driving to Newark to pick him up from there at 10 o'clock at night. Today, his Hull Trains experience began with a 30 minute delay and continued with further delays as the train sat going nowhere at King's Cross. Of course, all this eats away into the limited time that we get to spend together. At the time of writing, his train has been sitting at King's Cross for just under an hour with no sign of anything happening any time soon. Train finally departed from King's Cross 1hour and 7 minutes late, which, at least, is better than the complete no show last time. We are planning a visit to London later this Summer and there is no way, under any circumstances, that we will book tickets with Hull Trains. Complete disgrace.

It opened in 1980 and I don't think it has changed at all since then! The trains are old and rattle a lot, and the seats are quite frayed and ripped. Some of the stations are quite dated as well. The city centre stations all have large escalators, but they are not as large as the ones on the London Underground. These stations also have step free access in the form of very old, very unreliable lifts. I would avoid going in them as they seem very dodgy. It covers a good area of the city. You can get to the airport from the city centre in about 20 minutes, and it will only cost you about £5. You will need to select zones A, B and C for the airport, and that is why it is more expensive than other destinations. Not as large as the tube, but it has more frequent services than the Edinburgh Tram and covers more ground. It is also convenient for reaching the coast and Sunderland.
