This is an NCP car park so the prices are a bit steep…read more There are loads of spaces and during the week it is quite easy to get one. However on a Saturday it's best to get there early as it is really busy, gridlocked at sometimes. A lot of the spaces on the first floor have been taken up by the inhouse valet company - great if you want your car cleaned, not so good if your looking for a parking space. The car park links directly onto debenhams, so you can go straight inside without having to go out on to the street. There are a good amount of lifts at all exit points.

A very reasonably priced car park in a very handy and centralised area of town. The downside the…read morethis car park is that if you don't know that its there, it is difficult to find. Hidden halfway down Dean street, it is in an ideal location for the restaurants and bars of the Quayside and also not too far to walk to the Theatre Royal or the main shopping areas of town and Eldon Square. I would not recommend this car park to those who have a particularly large or difficult to maneouvre vehicle though as it is a multi storey and is exceptionally tight for turning. It is also not in an ideal location if you are disabled or have difficulty walking as it is halfway up a steep hill.

This car park is ideally located - if you can get a space in it, that is. It is situated right in…read morethe heart of the city centre and has direct access to the Eldon Square shopping centre. Within walking distance of all major attractions and almost opposite the Northern Stage theatre. However, as you might imagine, this car park is therefore excessively popular and has people queueing for spaces from early on a Saturday morning. It is laid out in an awkward spiral design which is tricky for parking and even more tricky when wanting to pull out. It is about average price for a city centre car park. I would recommend this car park to anyone who is keen to park near the centre of town and doesn't mind waiting as long as it takes to get a space.

Fantastic Value - currently £50 per month. The walk across the High Level Bridge to Northumberland…read moreStreet is only 10 mins - and it saves all the "Toon center" queues. Downside is it is a monthly subscription - and so not suitable for the one-off day's parking - but at £50 per month it's very good value for anything more long term. Access is available at all times of day or evenings - even weekends !!

In town recently for the Newcastle vs. West Ham game, we took a train to London the next morning…read more Being our first time in town, we didn't know what to expect in terms of the station, but our experience was positive and in line with the other reviews... We found the staff helpful, the station easy enough to navigate, etc... I was glad that we arrived early to find which platform our LNER train was on (#3) and then figure out what area to board based on our prebooked tickets. I didn't realize until it was too late that there was a designated warmer indoor area for us to wait. Bummer! Our train departed on time but did hit a delay on our route... clearly that is not the fault of the Newcastle Central Station, however. I'm not sure if/when I'll be back, but if you find yourself in the area, this is a beautiful station to come into or out of. Safe travels!

The station opened in August 1850, as part of the then Newcastle & Carlisle Railway and York, Newcastle & Berwick Railway. Now it's a Grade 1 listed building located in the city's Grainger Town area, to the west of the Castle Keep. The station was noted for its complex set of diamond crossings to the east of the station which facilitated access to the High Level Bridge and northbound East Coast Main Line and was said to be the greatest such crossing in the world. The crossing was the subject of many early-1900s post cards, titled The Largest Railway Crossing in the World, photographed from the castle (towards the station), or from the station towards the castle. Trains cross the River Tyne on one of two bridges. The older High Level Bridge, south-east of the station, was designed by Robert Stephenson opened on 27 September 1849. Its location meant north-south trains had to reverse in the station to continue their journey. The King Edward VII Bridge south-west of the station opened on 10 July 1906 allowing north-south trains to continue without reversing. The two bridges enable the trackwork north and south of the river to form a complete circle, allowing trains to be turned if necessary. The former Gateshead depot next to the connecting tracks on the south side of the Tyne, mirrored Newcastle station.
