By Coach

Travelling by coach is a very cheap and easy way of getting to Leeds! There are two places your coach is likely to come into:

By Train

Why not take advantage of the Strategic Rail Network and get the train to Rally? If you decide to travel by rail, please get the train to Horsforth Railway Station. There will be a shuttle minibus between Horsforth Station and Bramhope, which will take about 10 minutes. Minibus shuttles will primarily run between 6pm and 11pm, however if you are going to arrive outside of these times and need a shuttle, please get in contact so we can try our best to organise this for you.

Horsforth is served by a roughly half-hourly Northern service between Leeds and York via Harrogate and a bi-hourly service between London Kings Cross and Harrogate. Please note - at Leeds Railway Station, the departure board will not say York as the final destination but Poppleton via Harrogate.

By Plane

No seriously, arrival by plane is a very realistic option for this rally. Our site is helpfully located close to Leeds-Bradford Airport. If you wish to fly to rally, please notify a member of committee of your arrival time into Leeds-Bradford via the #lotrr-transport channel in the SSAGO Discord Server or by using the Contact Us page prior to Rally. Please let us know as soon as possible so we can make sure we have someone available to go and pick you up.

If you experience any issues in the booking process, please contact webmaster@ssago.org.
