£3 Parking- all day, in Leeds! What's not to love!read more

I know, I know. It's a car park. How excited can you get? So yes, I'll keep it brief…read more Total Parking is a bit grotty, but that's fine because it's super-mega-ultra dirt cheap. Plus: it's a car park, so who cares? £5.50 all day during the week, £3 all day on Saturday, £1 an hour Monday - Saturday, £1 all day Sunday. It's about a five minute walk from the shopping, but I think the extra distance is well worth it to not face £12 in parking fees from NCP. The only real downside is the fact that Total Parking doesn't stay open very late. It closes between 7pm and 9pm depending on the day, so check with them before you park up.

Have to say this is one of oddest car parks I've ever used. I normal go into Leeds and huge NCP…read morecarparks on various levels. This carpark was like driving into someones oversized garage. The cars were crammed in an I imagine its a great place to get your car bumped or the painted work scratched. No sure of the day rates for parking but over night it cost us a tenner which I didn't think was too bad really. The guy manning the car park was really helpful and explained all the car park rules to us clearly about when you could gain access to your car overnight. Handy and safe place to leave your car.

Passed through York Station while traveling to Liverpool. The station was small and easy to…read morenavigate. Facilities like restrooms, seating, and clear signage (with constant reminders to "walk on the left") were good, though food options were limited. The biggest drawback was having to carry luggage up and down stairs, as we didn't see any ramps. Staff were helpful, and trains ran on time. Overall, a convenient and efficient small station. Saluti

Harrogate Train Station is the main railway station serving the town of Harrogate in North…read moreYorkshire, it is a rather small station, with three platforms, although they only tend to use two of them. Pretty much all services go into Leeds (29 km north of here), so odds are, you may need to change trains there, depending on where you are going, as I had to, to get back to Manchester. The station is served by both LNER and Northern Rail, with the latter managing the station and providing the majority of the services that use the station. It's a typical old-school station, lots of steps and walking across the footbridge between platforms, there are lifts though if you have access needs or a heavy suitcase. There isn't much in terms of food/drink inside the station, I did notice a Cafe, next to the Ticket Hall, but this was closed on both my journeys to and from the station - being right in the town centre, it is easy enough to hop across to get a snack / bite to eat there. There is a small waiting area on the platforms, with a couple of places to sit down under shelter. Access to other modes of transportation to continue your journey is also good, with a taxi rank outside the station, and an adjacent bus station. The station is staffed, and the staff seem friendly enough. PRO TIP: If you're picking up or returning a parcel, there is an Amazon Locker, and an InPost Locker, right outside the station which can be handy. 3*

We flew into Durham Tees Valley Airport earlier this year for a short break. A lovely little…read moreairport with nice facilities. This would have been a firm four stars if not for one fact. Arriving on a Friday afternoon virtually no car rental is possible. It is that Europcar anyway operates a drop-off service from Darlington and provides an out-if-hours service, otherwise we would have come seriously unstuck.

Until recently, I was a regular traveller to Teesside on business. After years of travelling on by…read moretrain GNER, I thought I'd give the bmi service to the (then) Teesside International Airport. Since then, I've become a firm fan. It's closer to Teesside and, being very small (just two gates!), is very easy to use. OK, so the facilities are a bit limited, but it compares well with Darlington station. Although on principle I'd preferred to have used the train (lower carbon emissions), the lousy connections from Darlington to Middlesbrough, coupled with the difference in price, made it a no-brainer. £75 return on bmi compared with over £200 on GNER? The four return flights a day are well timed for business in either direction, too. The only downside is having to use Heathrow at the other end, but then King's Cross during the rebuilding work is hardly pleasant, either. The only thing I don't like is the new name - it's nowhere near Durham, as it implies. Still, that's a minor quibble.
