I love this train station and have many fond childhood memories of passing through here on my adventures. It is a huge train station with many platforms. I liken it to King's Cross in design, and I love that it hasn't changed much in 30 years. It is clean and well maintained with friendly and helpful staff. There are plenty of amenties that are a little pricey, and the town centre is a five minute walk away, as is the Railway Museum.
A historic city worth visiting many times. The highlight was visiting York Minster, a building so spectacular and of a fantastic design. The detail in the architecture is awe inspiring. There are many places to see, like the wall experience, The Jorvik Viking Centre which is full of stuff dug up during the excavation and at the as you enter, there is a glass floor covering a dig, revealing viking ways of living. York Museum is a must. I'm not detailing here because you have to see it for yourself.
A beautiful place! It felt like I was in a fairy tale. I can’t wait to discover more on my next trip.
First time to York, so much history packed into the city. Friendly, interesting and beautiful with a great range of places to eat and drink. Will come visit again.
This is a sizeable train station. It's one of the biggest I have visited so far, and contains all the usual facilities and fixtures one would reasonably expect in a train station. A plaque in the station states that it was (maybe most recently) renovated in 1982, and while it is quite clean generally, many surfaces around the station are beginning to show their age. There are taxis and buses outside which ease transport into York, and there is an abundance of shops around wherein snacks can be purchased while you wait for your train.

I always look forward to a day in York.
From York Station, climb up onto the City Walls and head towards York Minster.
Climb down to the River Ouse at Lendal Bridge.
Here you will Barker Tower and located within The Perky Peacock.
Cross the River Ouse on Lendal Bridge, either turn right into Lendal or head to York Minster and turn right. Either way will find oneself in a maze of old streets, easy to get lost.
Look out for The Minster Gate Bookshop, an absolute must visit when in York.
The Shambles is probably the most famous street. Off The Shambles a market. The street food stalls give a miss.
Head to Fossgate, long overdue pedestrianised, and visit Kiosk and The Hairy Fig. Kiosk the best coffee shop in York, The Hairy Fig a deli.
York City Council needs to get their act together, pedestrianise Fossgate. It was pedestrianised during lockdown, a great improvement.
York City Council need to get their act together, improved signage for York Station.
I was shocked by the number of empty shops in York, others closing down. There were fewer people on the streets than previous visits to York.
York BID, no benefit to anyone, the BID Levy an additional burden on struggling local businesses.
Absolutely loved York, so much to do and see. Very historical as well.
I would say its one of my favourite places to visit .
A large station that is open and airy unlike some of the "underground" stations. Facilities near the main entrance on the platform and there is a short cut through to the Principal Hotel.
The York station is a key junction approximately halfway between London and Edinburgh.so beautiful!
I am a photographer and travel to lots of places and York was definitely the most photogenic the train station was photogenic too it also had a useful map outside of the whole city I love this train station
