Eleven pounds for six miles one-way (£1.83 per mile) does seem a little
steep by heritage diesel standards. The Wensleydale Railway currently
charges eight pounds for sixteen miles (50p per mile).

Which is probably why few visit it after lunch. Apart from the bus
service(s) not connecting with the train services by minutes, the £11
is a full day rover deal which can really only be enjoyed if arriving
in the morning. From what I have heard the trains in the afternoon are
largely empty, and the last trains of the day completely empty. CJB.

The Wensleydale Railway charges £15 for a day rover, which is very
reasonable.

I've just had a look at their timetable, and it's insane. They must have
spend days working on heritage bus times which miss as many trains as
possible. The 13.35 in question misses departures in both directions by
just a few minutes - but all the previous buses are at xx.25 which would
connect with both trains.
