Once you know the times that suit you best, you can select your train tickets from York to Sunderland. At Grand Central, we have all sorts of ticket types for you to choose from that are designed with different travellers in mind. The ticket that’s the best fit depends on when you are travelling and who you may be travelling with.  

If you have a more flexible schedule and don’t need to arrive in Sunderland for rush hour, then a great option is an Off-Peak ticket. As you’ll be travelling at quieter times, you’ll often get a cheaper ticket compared to busier services. Our journeys are usually quieter at these times too, so you may even have more room to stretch your legs. 

If you’re not sure when you want to come back, then there’s no need to worry. Our Anytime train tickets allow you to simply hop on a Grand Central train when you need to. With no time pressure to catch a specific train, you can see where the day takes you. 

On the other hand, if you like to have a plan in place, then you can book an Advanced fare. Not only will you know exactly what York to Sunderland train to hop on, but you’ll find that they often work out cheaper too.  

Whether you’re booking a daytrip in Sunderland or just stopping off, make sure you choose the right ticket. Before you book, it’s best to check whether you need a Return to York or a Single Ticket to Sunderland. Getting a ticket on the day can be a lot more expensive, so it pays to be prepared.
