Madelaine, sorry but jhrc4 is right. I thought this would be another quiz or something fun and read it. Sadly, I watched Downton Abbey last night, so knew this was coming. It wasn't a major spoiler but it did take a little of the fun out of it. Just a little warning in the title or make the first line "spoiler alert" works miracles. It does give us the option to stop reading if we don't want to know.

That being said, I don't think Bates did it. As was said, Bates couldn't get to London and back in one day. I think Bates went to York to find a new position for himself and Anna, somewhere where she could forget what happened or he just went there to set up some sort of surprise for her.
