It's only an hour each way by train.

You can get Megabus from Leeds city centre to Hull Interchange and back again to Leeds.
The Hull Interchange is next door to the Infirmary, about £10 in total for both journeys, also the train However trains are very expensive and the tickets very restrictive and confusing.
walk on Train fare is not far of £100 both ways in peak times and £42 off peak.

I don't know where you're getting those prices from, the off peak day return is £21.30.

National Rail enquiries is a brilliant well run website.All the info ,times, prices in seconds.Stick to National Rail enquiries tho not the other ticket sellers. There are a lot of advance tickets at reduced prices.

Quite - the Off-peak Day Return fare is valid on this route from the 09.38am train onwards, and in this case the slightly more expensive Off-peak (month) Return fare at £23.30 is actually valid on all trains throughout the day, i.e. including the peak time trains in the morning.

Google maps might make it look that way but it's actually a good 5-10 minute walk to HRI from the Interchange. Perfectly do-able for most, but some might prefer to take a bus (frequent and cheap) or a taxi for around £3.

Hopefully, your daughter is on the road to recovery now. Best wishes.

NRE doesn't sell tickets, so where do you suggest tickets are purchased?

In my last year of uni I commuted from Hull to Leeds. As already said the train takes an hour and a return should cost you less than £30 even if bought on the day. Then, it literally is a 10- 15 min walk from the station. You can't miss the hospital as it is so ugly.

I know that you know more than me about railway policy and tickets but after you select a ticket on the NRE site it offers a dropdown list of train operating companies, as well as a couple of 3rd party sites. Click on your preferred company and it will link you to the site you choose and you can purchase from there, without any additional fees.
