The eighth part of my series Exploring the East Coast saw me catching an early morning LNER service north to tick off the three remaining stations between Peterborough and Morpeth. With a plan to head north and work my way back south, the plan was to cover the stations of Northallerton, Thirsk and York.
Having spent 36 hours or so exploring the wonderful city of Krakow, it was time to head to the station to begin my journey home. As with my flight out to Krakow, my flight home was with Wizz Air, but first I had to catch the half hourly service between Krakow Glówny station and Krakow Airport.
I’ve decided to do this destination blog post about Krakow a bit differently and split it into a few sections, rather than have one continuous post about my visit. Hopefully it’ll be an enjoyable read, but as always, feedback is appreciated.
With six and a half months left on my passport, I had decided that there was just enough time to maximise its use and take another trip before that pesky, post-Brexit, six-month expiry rule kicked in. Therefore, with a cheap hostel booked and some equally cheap flights, I was up and heading to Luton at 0400 ready for my flight to Krakow with Wizz.
Given that both were explored in the same day, it makes sense that this Exploring the East Coast follows on the from the last. This Exploring the East Coast had me starting at the least used station in Tyne and Wear, Manors, before continuing into Newcastle itself and then visiting the oddly underserved Chester-Le-Street.
Having arrived from Prague into the airline’s largest hub at Zurich, my onward flight, and the last of my trip, was of course with Swiss International Air Lines. When planning my itinerary, I’d tried to balance giving myself enough time for any connections, whilst also attempting to get onboard different aircraft for each leg.
