Øystein, Yes, DO NOT attempt to buy a train ticket on your day of travel, it is the daftest thing to do. For starters you are likely to be unable to sit down!
Book in advance and book your seat, you can probably get a first class ticket now cheaper than normal closer to the day. Use the trainline as Guy says, I say this as someone who works in the station (nothing to do with trains we just built their new station and tarted up their old one for them) and someone who travels up North on the train sometimes. It's pretty easy and you can pick & choose your train - it's also a better bet to avoid peak hours (8-10, 4-6) and Friday afternoons etc. - you'll see when attempting to book. > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected]; [email protected] > Date: Tue, 26 Feb 2013 01:11:54 +0100 > Subject: Re: [LU] Becchio > > On getting a ticket to Leeds - not a good idea to try buying at Kings Cross > when you want to leave, > especially if that's peak times - the 'documentary' series currently on the > beeb had someone being > quoted £300 quid for ticket from Kings Cross to Leeds.
