Tony, do you know if the foodbank is running up there on a matchday still? It would be good to drop some stuff off with them again.

Re: Newcastle (a) - General Info
Great offer on transpennine trains for over 55s. Any return journey for 20 quid.
Which means you can get to Newcastle from Manchester Victoria for that.
36 quid going via York from Burnley is the cheapest I have seen for Adults.
The pubs around the train station are a plenty and friendly.
Great day out up there.

I booked train tickets from Leeds this week. Return was £65 but paid £28 by buying 4 singles: Leeds-York, York- Newcastle and vice versa.

Park in Heaton on a side street. Free parking however it’s roughly a ten minute walk into town

The walk up to the seat may be a different matter though

Re: Newcastle (a) - General Info
It's always been like that, even back in the early 70s when I was doing a lot of away games by train from Sheffield. I even got it cheaper recently for the Liverpool game, ticket from Manchester to Newton-le-Willows and one from Newton-le-Willows to Liverpool.TheFamilyCat wrote: ↑Thu Nov 11, 2021 1:54 pmI know.

Re: Newcastle (a) - General Info
I travelled up for the Norwich game. Arlesey (my closest station) to Burnley Mcr Rd was £96 return. I tried splitting the journey without success. I then tried Stevenage to Leeds - Stevenage is 2 stops closer to London to then travel back in the opposite direction. £10 each way, £20 return. Leeds to Burnley £6.90 each way. So the original £96 became £33.80 after a bit of trial and error.

Re: Newcastle (a) - General Info
We usually park at the South Shore Road Car Park, which is down by the Baltic/Sage Centres - immediately south of the pedestrian eye-bridge; it's about £5 to park and a mile (mostly uphill) to the ground, but it saves you fighting traffic onto/across the Tyne Bridge each way and a picturesque walk, across the eye-bridge one way via the Bigg Market and back via the Tyne Bridge. Doesn't help with getting to your seats of course; best thing for that is to go the day before and spend the night acclimatising on the second tier, or if you can't manage that then swallow a couple of Diamox tablets.

Re: Newcastle (a) - General Info
If you have time, break the journey along the Carlisle-Newcastle by stopping for a pint in Corbridge. Excellent village, Dyvels pub by station is good, go up into the centre of village and next to the church you'll find The Pele, (pronounced 'Peel', not err Pele), unique pub in a 14th Century building, excellent ales straight from the barrel.lakedistrictclaret wrote: ↑Fri Nov 12, 2021 4:22 pmThat's a good route. Scenic between Lancaster and Penrith, and the journey between Carlisle and Newcastle is full of interest, going through Hadrian's Wall country and then along the banks of the Tyne.

Plenty of good real ale pubs in the toon, Centurion on N/c station, Bacchus, Lady Grey, Bodega, Trent House, Crown Posada, Hotspur, further afield Free Trade with the finest view in Newcastle. Get here early, all I want is a match day ticket!

Re: Newcastle (a) - General Info
Cross the Redheugh Bridge and park up somewhere on the other side (plenty of reasonably priced options around there and should be reasonably easy to get away afterwards). Ground is a short walk from there.
Anyone making a day of it I'd suggest the Wylam Brewery in Exhibition Park for a few scoops (it's not really on the beaten track but still walking distance). Fenham Fish Bar is well worth leaving the city centre for too. Best fish and chips I've ever had.
You can't go far wrong in Newcastle itself but its worth a look down towards the Quayside for the Redhouse. One of the oldest buildings in Newcastle and they do brilliant pies and pints.

Re: Newcastle (a) - General Info
As mentioned above.......
TransPenine Express from Manchester Victoria to Newcastle are certainly a bargain for over 55's.
20 quid return, off peak, which means you can catch any of their hourly trains on that Saturday.

For anyone that travels by train and has Tesco club card points.
The travel cards are on triple points. Basically the 30 pound card costs a tenner if you pay with Tesco vouchers.
Then a 3rd off your travel.

Re: Newcastle (a) - General Info
If you shop at Tesco you get points on you shopping which lead to you getting vouchers. For every £1 you have in vouchers you can get £1 off your shopping but alternatively you can get £3 off other things which includes rail cards. I try to collect £10 ready for my rail card being renewed.
You apply to Tesco for a voucher to use for buying a rail card. You get it immediately by email and then use that to purchase your rail card.
