Catch an easy Hull to Leeds train with Northern. They'll get you there in just over an hour, stopping at a few stations along the way.

Northern runs a massive range of local train services that connect big stations like Sheffield, Bradford, Stockport and Chester with much smaller stations along the route, so they tend to be slightly slower. But that does give you more time to enjoy the scenery!

• Bicycles: Bikes can be brought with you, as there are a limited number of spaces for bikes on board.
• Children: Buggies are allowed on board and should be folded down and stored as luggage. If you're travelling with under-5s and they sit on an adult's lap, they generally don't need a ticket. It's possible to save with a Family & Friends Railcard, too.
• Pets: If you want to bring a pet with you, you can! You're limited to two pets per adult. Dogs can be kept on a lead, but other pets need to be in a carrier that isn't kept on a seat. They also mustn't disturb other travellers.
