The station is spread out over quite a large area and the walk from your platform can be quite a distance. Luckily if you have heavy luggage or problems walking there are lifts, as the stairs are quite steep. The station itself has some amazing architecture. Lots of places to get food and drinks.

The Passenger Assistance provided by LNER at York station was excellent. The assistance was on the train as soon as it arrived looking for us. They had our coach seting. On the reverse journey they met us, took us to the train, loaded our luggage and made sure we were OK. Excellent.

York is the home of The National Railway Museum and as such the city deserves a station befitting of the place. It probably got it when the station was originally built, now, more than a century later, the station doesn't really fit the contemporary needs of the thousands of passengers that pass through. It's a perfectly serviceable station and it still works, though it needs updating.

The city of York hold a great atmosphere of love and affection for a great city. The reason why I say this is that when my Wife and I got married this was our wedding destination or honeymoon for aweek, 40 years later we still revisit the old haunting ground the atmosphere and the history of York. When we started having children we took our three girls to York on our special week of remembering our wedding day.. My girls have been grown up and havingchildren with their. But I’m happy to say that my Wife and I I saw very happy with your the city of honour wedding honeymoon.. Your cousin hasn’t changed in the last 40 years the streets are still the samefor 1000 years ago and that is the whole mystery of York but in this modern age York still hold on to its pro history. You can visit Yorkminster a great place of worship we were there when the roof of the cathedral burnt away and we return to see it replaced and once more stands in its own glory to God . For those that have Railway steam in their blood you can visit the National rowing Museum which is only a short distance from town but if you are a fitness ability and there is a train which is very cheap and reasonable there is a host of places you can go to Restaurants by the river or in town and Montour in York if you use it as a base and to return to each night there is plenty to see outlying countryside, you could take a train to Manchester Edinburgh which we’ve done Liverpool to Crosby beach and look at Anthony Gormley figurative statues which stand in the Sea and revealed twice a day as the tideretreat. You’re looking for a day or a week the city of York will not let you down as it stands proud proud and surrounded by the old city walls.. . Visit to York is a bit like working on a puzzle all the bits are are there all you have to do is put them in the right place. Have a great day or if you prefer have a great week at the city of York goodbye..

York station is around 10 minutes walk away from the centre of York. It has a few cafes and a few shops to look around and lots of platforms with trains that can take you to most of the UK. The staff here are really nice and I enjoy travelling to and from this station.

We began and ended our visit to York at York Railway Station. It is a fairly large and busy station dating from the 1870s that is easily accessed from any part of York. Although we did not take advantage of them, shops and a Starbucks cater to travelers’ needs. Note the historical plaques documenting its damage during an air raid in 1942 and its refurbishment. Our time spent at York Railway Station was a pleasant part of our trip.

I wanted to change my return journey so a helpful lady changed my ticket and we upgraded to 1st class for return back to London. Next day, arrived at first class lounge to be met by the same lady who remembered us. She was very helpful and friendly and very efficient - stupidly did not get her name but she had blonde hair, lovely perfume and she had the air of someone that might have previously been cabin crew which is why she was so good!

The last time that we used this station we were travelling to Aberdeen and returning from Inverness. It is a large and busy station. The taxi drop-off point is under cover as is the walk to the LNER 1st Class Lounge on Platform 3. There are no ticket barriers at this station. The lounge provides a warm place to wait for your train. The link between platforms is either by subway accessed by steps and lift or by an overhead footbridge. The lifts are quite small, but they were out of order for some platforms anyway. Therefore transferring cases involved stairs, whichever route was selected. There are ample arrival/departure boards and the departure platform was marked with positions for each coach on the train, to enable reserved seats to located easily. On return the station was extremely busy, which involved stairs for suitcases again. The pre-booked pick-up car park has a short waiting period limit, which can cause issues if trains are late. Overall, a busy but functional station providing travel across the UK, but it would have been good to have serviceable lifts, or better still an easier alternative.
