  • Where are you travelling from?

    Season tickets are available for pretty much every short and medium distance train journey there is, plus a fair few long distance ones too. They are available for period of a week, month or year, plus there are 'odd period' tickets available for any periods of longer than a month up to 40 weeks (beyond which an annual season ticket would be issued).

    Look at this page on the National Rail website (remove the space after the first dot to reconstruct the link):

    Yes, the cheapest way to get from <Unknown station> to Leeds is likely to be a combination of tickets, splitting at similarly unknown stations.

    Once at Leeds, are you staying somewhere near Leeds for 6 weeks? You could get a MetroCard

    However as we have no clue what your journey requirements are, providing further info is impossible.
