We are in our final stages of planning for our upcoming UK trip next month. We received many helpful suggestions already from the forum and are looking for some more advice. We will be starting in York on June 3 and are planning a day trip to Durham on Friday June 6. The university is having their end of year concert in the Cathedral that night at 7:30-10:00pm. We really enjoy these types of events. In looking at return train tickets to purchase there is a 10:14 pm (would have to leave the concert a little early) or a 11:08 pm. These would get us back to York around 11 pm or midnight.
For some reason this is giving me a little feeling of stress, maybe just because it’s our first trip to the UK. From what I’ve been able to find I’d expect both these rail stations to be quite busy on a Friday night in June. The train tickets will have assigned seats so that shouldn’t be an issue and we don’t have any safety concerns.
So logistically is there any reason we shouldn’t go to the concert?
