I've often wondered why there is a gate on the south side of North Shields station and a ramp and stairs. These are never open. Were these built when there was a line from NS to St James and a third platform was being used ?

I am thinking about travelling to Glasgow from Newcastle, via Carlisle for a change of scenery to the normal LNER ECML route If the Avanti service is so bad, maybe I should use it for my homeward leg, ie from Glasgow to Carlisle, then assume the Northern rail service to Newcastle is on time...

Many many thanks 'Yorkie' I've actually just had a quick look on the forum's site and it looks good .. Those £3 single tickets were shown too. Yes, I would prefer to get a 'whole journey' booked as one. That option to include certain stations is brilliant I'll search again nearer the time ...

No, it's actually from the ScotRail site (I wouldn't use Trainline) I'll be going to Glasgow at the end of May and tickets are not yet available, but I was just looking at options. Travelling from Newcastle to Carlisle, then up north could be a nice trip. I hadn't even realised ScotRail...

Am I doing something wrong ? I could book a day trip to Carlise for a Monday in March for £6, but for a similar Monday in April it is showing as £37.20 * I would have thought the further you book, the cheaper it is * Yes, there's an off-peak return at £18.70, but the single proices are...

Thank you everyone who has provided answers to my original comment / quesion

Thank you for your very detailed reply. 1674900930 Wowzer ... that's given me a great idea .. travel there one way (via Edinburgh) and for a change, come home the other way. Brilliant ! 1674900964 thank you for your advice

I have some money in the LNER perks scheme and not I can use it to reduce the cost of a future ticket, but it looks as if this only applies to tickets bought through the app. I find it much easier using the PC, rather than a small phone screen, but I'll give it a go .. as soon as the tickets I...

yes.. us NUFC fans are always optimistic .. now there's money at the club

I wanted to book a return journey from Newcast to Glasgow for the end of May but tickets are not available yet, via the LNER website. I have set up a ticket alert However, I was wondering whether I should be maybe checking individual websites, ie LNER and Scotrail, rather than the 'combined...

Thanks for the answer.. Example .. £3 for the longer trip, £18.40 for shorter ..Heworth is about 5 miles from Newcastle .. heading towards hartlepool

Northern Rail sale ... I've just booked 3 day-trips in February / March from Newcastle to Hexham, Prudhoe and Hartlepool and paid a total of £9 .. so that's pretty decent I think. Funny though, how some short journeys are far more expensive than longer ones, even using the exact same train...

How far ahead can you book tickets ... seems only about 3 months with LNER

Yes ... good point well made :D

Yes, you are probably right, but there is always Manors Station, a totally open, unmanned station, about 1 mile from the main Newcastle Station, so anybody wanting to view the sleeper could go there ... it's just not on my 'to-do' list in the middle of the night BTW .. My picture was taken at...

03:44 .. I don't think I'll bother filming it then :D BTW thank you "WizCastro197" for the information

I read somewhere that the Scotland sleeper train will be using the ECML for the next few days Does anybody have more details, such as timings through Newcastle please ? thanks ! BTW .. HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ALL !

many thanks for that Just looked now and it's £2 each journey for the two of us ... crazy ! Wish we had got a railcard before

Thanks for your replies ... we'll probably just go to Carlisle ... it's a nice route along the Tyne I believe .. and it's a decent day out for two oldies

My wife and I recently got a Two Together railcard, so have already had a trip to London resulting in a saving more than the card actually cost (£20 on offer) and we've also booked another trip to Edinburgh. Now just playing, I find a return ticket to Carlise from Newcastle In January for...
