Check google + post now for details of hostel accomodation at bargain prices for our tour

Please check your google + page for details of 3 stayok hostels in Den Haag, Haarlem and Utrecht that I think fit the bill  and are cheap. I am happy to book any of them on mutual agreement. Booking.com is a really easy way of booking accommodation and no need to pay up front!

  1. I have no account on either facility but will accept the majority decision. Do we need International Hostel membership for these?

  4. I'll go with whatever everybody else says! BTW, still no advance tickets for 6 June yet. It seems that it is 12 weeks rather than 3 calendar months. Can anyone say different? Am I looking in the wrong place? I have a voucher for £5 to use with Scotrail - all because they failed to do something by a certain date. Don't even remember what it was now! (reply to an email? send me something?) What a crazy world! Just invested in a 3-year rail card - that at least makes sense!

    1. Not long to wait now, Clyde. Although tickets for 6 June are now available from the Northern Rail and Virgin websites, I would wait for the National Rail site which seems to offer the full range of cheapest tickets, but is running a day later. Despite Northern providing the cheapest service from Sheffield or Doncaster to Hull, it appears they (or Virgin) can't be bothered to find the cheapest East Midland or Cross Country advance tickets from Derby to Sheffield or Doncaster. Who voted for this chaotic system.

  5. Certainly not me! But I'm disappointed that Labour didn't re-nationalize when they had the chance. I only recently discovered that the 'model' adopted by the Major government in 1992 was an EU one, to increase competition (which is what we were told at the time) but not necessarily to privatize the whole show. It was mainly, if I understand it correctly, to introduce the possibility of cross-border companies - usually state companies like DB or Abellio - running things (which we have now) but only the UK interpreted it as full privatization. I found the EU directive on Wikipedia.
    Anyway, I paid £4.05 for my Derby to Hull ticket this morning! Using my new railcard and the £5 Scotrail voucher! This includes a £1 postage fee, which annoyed me, and I will also have to pay postage of my voucher to CrossCountry at Edinburgh. Grr! I've planned to get to Hull early enough to include the possibility of a ride to Spurn Point, but this may not happen! Now we must wait for the release of the advance tickets for the return.
