Arriving by bus or rail

York does not have a bus station as such, but the national bus stop and main line rail station are located just the other side of the city centre. Both national and local buses stop just outside the main entrance to the railway station. The local, number 10 (Claret Line) bus service (to Stamford Bridge) links them, via the city centre to Lawrence Street. Ask for the 'Sisters of Poor Claire Convent' stop. The stop is about 100 yards before Bull Lane on the same side of the road.
The bus service is every twenty miunutes during the day and early evening. There is no late evening service. A Sunday daytime service operates hourly.Transfer time is about 10 minutes. Alternatively taxis wait outside the rail station, take about 5 minutes outside of rush hour times and cost about three to four pounds. You are advised to confirm the taxi fare and destination as Bull Lodge Guest House, Bull Lane, off Lawrence Street. If you are fit and able you can walk from the station in about twenty-five minutes.
