How much dosh for the train up there are we talking?

Just had a quick look and the nearest station (Cramlington or something) is 4 miles away. It looked like there was going to be little change from £100 there and back, possibly more....

There's a fairly fast bus from Newcastle Haymarket bus station, a better option than train to Cramlington I'd have thought.

For those going by train, depending on how much of a day you want to make of it, you should base yourself around Whitley Bay I reckon. You certainly don't want to be spending much time around Blyth, and you might just get a pleasant day at the seaside!

There is a train from Victoria just before 9am, getting into Newcastle at 11:30ish.  Jump on the Metro to Whitley Bay, and that should see you in the pub by lunchtime.

A cab ride from there to the ground would be roughly 15 mins or so along the coastal road I reckon. Get a cab back into Whitley Bay at FT.

Return train tickets currently around £45, with a few return trains to choose from (depending on how much sticking around and drinking you want to do)

This is is Alty - if you're getting the Metro to The Coast it's got to be Tynemouth darling

Spot on sir.....marvellous place......we had a thoroughly salubrious stay there between the Macclesfield & Halifax games & planning something similar next week.

Tynemouth is a wonderful place, wet & wild then off to Gothenburg with Andy Kilner, hey Peter?
