car update

FYI--For those of you thinking about coming to visit, the car we have is a company car and can't be driven by anyone who doesn't complete the company's driver training. As it stands right now, I haven't and won't which means you will have to rent a car or rely on public transportation unless Pat is available.

We are close to the York train station (more detail to come) and from what I understand the buses in York are good and frequent. From some initial research, train fare from London is about 19.50 pounds which is about $40 one way. That's booking as far in advance as possible. Ironically, the fare is a little bit more to take the train from Manchester which is geographically closer. The time it takes is still close to 2 hours (about the same as driving and just a little less than the time it takes to get to London). The airfare to Manchester is also suppose to be more expensive.

Check out the map below. We're the little pink square at the top of 1A (top left). The station is in the 2D quadrant (middle left). You can also see the walls (green line) and a walk/bike path along the river (black dashed line). For a better view of the map, click on it and it will enlarge.
