Looks like T&W Metro staff are getting griefed on social media due to their operation for tonight and advising people to walk over to Gateshead if you're heading south of the river after the Sam Fender concert at St James Park but really what else are they meant to do? Personaly I think it's...

Hi, It is my 40th next July (2021) and I am thinking of arranging a trip to Munich (assuming we can all travel by then). One of my friends has a phobia of flying so I'm thinking of the train route which will of course be longer but may be more rewarding. Going off of Seat 61 my route would...

Hi, Can this be done. I am currently have an advance ticket from Leeds to Newcastle on Friday at 17:50 but my travel plans have changed (I'm on a training course that looks like it will finish at 3pm). Can i excess my ticket to an anytime or do I need to buy a whole new ticket? The advance...

Hello, Tomorrow I am meant to be travelling from Newcastle to Leeds on a company purchases railblazers ticket which is in the form of a PDF file. The ticket has been printed out for me but I have stupidly left this in the office. Will I get away with having the ticket on screen on a tablet or...

Can someone confirm that on the below ticket do I have to travel on the booked train on the Edinburgh to Glasgow Central leg or is any train to Glasgow fair game? I'm staying near Charing Cross so I'm looking at travelling via Queen Street low level to Charing Cross if possible. I'm...

Does anyone on here suffer from this and if so can you share any tips on how to manage the pain when driving? I tend to get this after 1-2 hours of continuous driving. I'm in Newcastle and got a drive to Leeds tomorrow and a drive to Bournemouth in two weeks. Just wondering what I can do to...

Hi, Does anyone know how busy the above flight is likely to be? I am booked on the 08:45 flight on 23/03 for a work trip and the just fly option has been chosen which means my seat is allocated when I check in unless I pay the additional £7.50 each way to choose my seat. I would prefer a...

Posting here as I feel that technically a motorway being a public highway is public transport however mods please move if you deem this no appropriate in this section. Local people may have noticed this themselves but I regularly commute by car from Gateshead to Wallsend and part of my...

Apologies if this is in the wrong section. I'm travelling to Bournemouth from Newcastle (work trip fuel expenses claimable) and I'm trying to decide between the M1/M25/M3/M27 combo or the A43/M40/A34. The former option is whilst slightly longer it means it's motorway most of the way until...

Hi, As the title says can someone tell me who makes the decision when to close a road where it crosses a railway line so that the bridge over it can be repaired or replaced? For example close to where I live a key route in Gateshead that goes from Low Fell and the surrounding area to the...

Hi Apologises for what may be a stupid question but does the below mean I can travel on any service on the dates showing? I'm on a works night out on Friday so if there's flexibility I may take a later train. I know I will lose my seat reservation if I do this though. With regards to...

I think this is the best place to post this. I'm looking for some advice on where and how to pick up German from where I left off with a GCSE grade C in 1997. It until last weekend was a country I had never visited but always said I wanted to. Now that I have been (went to Munich) and spoke...

Can someone tell me if there are any food outlets open before 7am at Newcastle Central? My train is at 7:08 and I'm wanting to get some breakfast before I set off? Is there anywhere open or is McDonalds on Grainger St the best bet (for somewhere open that early at least)? I know there's Tesco...

Hi, I'm off to Munich on Friday and I'm wondering if anyone has used this before and could tell me what is the system like and what the fares/ticketing is like (I.e. Are all machines in German or will English be an option) and what hours the services run to and from. I'm on a stag weekend...

This is a hypothetical question hence why I'm posting here and God forbid it doesn't become reality but in a couple of weeks I'm travelling to Manchester Airport from Newcastle for a flight to Munich. The flight isn't until 1pm and we've left ample time by getting a 7am train at Newcastle but...

Apologies if this is in the wrong section but will be travelling from Newcastle to Manchester Airport on 20th March and returning back to Newcastle from Edinburgh 2 days later. There's 7 of us going but one of us is in a wheelchair. It wasn't myself who booked the tickets so not sure if...

I'm sure there's plenty of cases of this today but nonetheless a stark reminder to take extra care in icy conditions http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-tees-30625622

I'm travelling from Gateshead down to Stockton (well Thornaby) to sit an exam tomorrow and I would like to remotely connect to a PC at home to do some practice exams on my journey and wondering what is the 3/4G signal like on the route or would I be better off using the GNE X10 and use the wifi...

Hi, Can someone confirm that I'm reading the FTPE timetable correctly in that there is no direct service between Newcastle and Manchester Airport Monday to Friday in the morning? I am looking and there only seems to be two a day, the first one being after 7pm. I'm not looking to travel...
