York questions

it's small - you won't need a bus around the city centre

Ramblin, I was thinking of getting from my hotel (Indigo) to the Railway Museum, but I think I’ll just take a taxi

Thank you!

The HoHo bus would do that. But it would take you on it's circular route past the lovely Rowntree park, the former Terry's works (the two former big chocolate makers) in the city, and the racecourse.
Not sure of the stopping arrangements currently outside the station, as there are a lot of roadworks at that location.
Don't forget about the sightseeing boats as well. And they do an afternoon one way riverbus trip to Bishopsthorpe (home of the Archbishop of York) and Naburn (for buses back).
Agreed the centre of York is small, with many pedestrian only streets. I don't think about buses in central York either. If I did last Sunday the bus would have been very useful when I took over 30 minutes each way to walk from the station to the Minster when my right foot played silly b.... on me (and has since put me in hospital).
The city bus seems to be the 10 or 10L- on its way from Stamford Bridge (battle of) to Poppleton (a village on the Harrogate rail line)

Betsy - it's only just over a mile walking. I suspect that walking will be almost as quick as a taxi.

Stuart, I hope you are doing better!

Stuart, I could do the HoHo as long as I get up early enough - I need to be at the railway Museum by 10:30 am

I won’t have time during these few days, but I plan on going to York (from Knaresborough) as a day trip, and I’ll do a boat cruise on that day

John, is that it? Google said it would take 26 minutes to walk to …

I might go the HoHo bus as long as I get up early enough

Thanks!

Betsy - google does say 26 minutes but for only 1.2 miles. Of course everyone walks at different speeds - I would expect to do that in about 20 minutes. Only you will know your own pace
